PC Upgrade questions

neXus:
Yours is the most interesting Nige,
You have the same GPU as me and an ultrawide as well. I noticed frame issues in battlefield 1 but your indication is that it could be my CPU more then anything.


Does a New Mobo, New I7 (not top end but decent) and memory sooner then later sound like a Plan and then once the new NVidia cards have been out for a bit look to pick up a 1070 when those prices drop?


I think this sounds like a plan?


With that what CPU, Mobo and Memory combo should I look to get?

Clock'd 0Ne:
Problem is you'll need DDR4, that's £150+ worth our money; you'll need a decent mobo at £100 ish, plus your new i5/i7. That's £500 easily. I reckon the graphics card will drop in price before the rest of the system components do, but its hard to say. I would aim to upgrade the graphics now to a 1080/1080Ti maybe in black friday sales and skip this next gen of cards, as they don't offer enough performance increase and the new features like ray tracing, etc will be gimmicky for some time. Plan on upgrading the core components after, then get the next gen of graphics card after that which should be much better performing and down to 7nm architecture.

neXus:
Yeah, I am looking at a bundle deal with memory, SSD, I7 and motherboard.

Serious:
I'm still using my I5-4670K 16GB ram, Nvidea GeForce Gtx 970. Runs OK even at 4K. Haven't bothered OCing much.

Have thought of one of the new 20X0 graphics cards but there still isn't any games that use it fully.

Still thinking of getting a 49 inch 4K TV as a monitor, the text at 32" 4K is really too small for me to always see easily.

neXus:
I have the Predator Ultrawide. I basically have the same spec as you but it chugs with the frames for me in Battlefield 1.
