It is here, New PC
Hello guys,

i know you are anoyed by everyone´s questions about new pc, but i am realy noob in this topic.

I would like to upgrade my wooden PC (to buy a new one Biggrin)

Current parts: ( "*" parts i will take to the new one)
*Power suply: 750W (dont know brand now)
Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990 FX
GPU: AMD Radeon 6870, 1gb
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4, Black edition, 3,2 GHz
RAM: Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 Vengeance
* SSD 128gb, HDD 1t

I would like to buy something that would not have to upgrade for nex few years (my current pc was not upgraded for 4 years)

My option:
Power suply: stands still 750W
Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO
GPU: ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC, 4GD5
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K
RAM: Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HyperX Fury Black Series
Cooling: ..Would it need some higher type of cooling? CPU/GPU or both? (watter cooling is not the one i am looking for)

I can not talk about price (another currency), but it is now the highest as i can go (maybe i can find something cheaper)

I am long-time AMD user, now it is time for Intel. Also i want to try some "streaming", just for fun.

Every good advice, would be appreciated Smile ...or if you have any other possible parts option (with same/similar performance and cheaper price)

Thank you Smile

Stock coolers will do if you're not going to overclock. However if you're going to overclock, then buying a cooler is highly recommended, if not a must. Hope that helps a bit Smile

It all depends on what are u going to use your computer.

For play Tetris, your current computer is enough
If u are planing to play GTA VI , prepare a great hardware fpr it. Your suggestion seems to be good one

I got the same GPU, the same motherboard and the same RAM type/speed (not manufacturer) and it works very well, so its a FOR SURE from me.

Regarding cooling, I got a noctua CPU cooler instead of the stock one (NH-U12P SE2)

And about the CPU, it depends on what you want, perhaps an i5 can be as suitable as an i7, depends on your usage.

Nice one, so it is already tested (or a bigger half) Wink Smile

Yeah, as Nitro said the stock would do it good. I can buy additional cooling everytime if the stock one would not be enough. Writting down your advice with Noctua Smile

I think CPU will be realy busy under mine orders Smile but i will check both possibilities.

Thank you Smile)

If you check for another CPU, just do like you did with the 1st one you chose, ensure its a CPU which supports DDR4 RAM Smile

And about cooling, indeed, that's something you can always change at a later stage if you do not feel it being enough. The GPU's cooling is totally fine, if you buy the model you wrote which is the one I have the fans remain silent until ~65*C I believe. Never heard it when playing GTA V or any other stuff so Smile

That is the thing i don´t understand so much. I always find parts and in the end they can not work together properly. I am glad this set can Smile

Hyper 212 evo is what I use on my 6600k for cooling. Id recommend it because its cheap and will keep your temps cooler even if you are not overclocking. I am overclocked at 4.4ghz and it works amazingly well.

PSU is the most important thing in a computer, it's the one that actually delivers the power to the machine. Rather spend a bit extra money on a new PSU aswell.

I bought a new PSU few months ago, because the last one ended almost same as in the picture. There is now some quality PSU, but i am not at home to look which brand it is.

Maybe it is an idea to wait for nVidia to launch their new Pascal-GPU.
I heard that nVidia just send out the invitations to the press for the launch of the Pascal-chip.
In a few weeks we know what we can expact.

They are speculating about it. From what I have read is that the price of the x70 Pascal will be between (to be safe) €350 - €450. I say this because they still sell the 970's for around €300 - €350 here in The Netherlands.
