Hey guys, I've been looking to buy a new PC and I want your help. My current specs are pretty outdated, I have a FX-6300 and a GTX 750 Ti, but maybe I can use my current 650W PSU and 1 TB HDD on a new machine. Anyway, my main goal
is to build a gaming PC able to run games on 1080p +60FPS, but also capable of running them on 4K +60FPS if I get myself a new monitor, and last about 2/3 years without having to change any parts. I thought about choosing the
right parts so that I could change my GPU in about 3 years and maintain my CPU, after 1/2 years after that change my CPU, so that I could change my GPU again after that and finally, in 1/2 years after I would need to build a new PC.
Obviously, to do this I would need to choose a CPU with a socket that would be still a high performance one after those 4/5 years. I made a list of GPUs and CPUs that I thought would fit on my plan and their price is affordable.
GPU: 1070 Ti, 1080 or 1080 Ti.
CPU: Ryzen 1700, Ryzen 1700x, Ryzen 1800x, i7-8700 or i7-8700K.
I concluded that considering performance and prices here in Brazil, I would take the 1070 Ti or the 1080 as GPU, so I could jump to a 1080 Ti in 2/3 years as I plan to. But talking about CPUs I don't know what to take. Analyzing
them the most powerful one appears to be the 8700K, but its price is the highest, and I don't know if the performance boost from the 8700 or the 1700x is worth the price. Besides that, I would take the 8700K with no hesitation
for its current price if it was with the LGA 2066 socket, but it isn't. Also, I don't know much about the Ryzen's, so I don't know if their socket would suit my plan for a future change.
I think I managed to explain to you my big plan and I hope you guys understand what I meant and what's my purpose with this build. Before I forget, I do not plan to overclock and neither use my PC for work or streaming.
Thank you http://m.**********************.com/sfp/images/design/usr/smilies/smile.gif
Some things I forgot to put on my text.
*I didn't the 7700 and 7700K because I don't think they would be able to last 5 years smoothly.
*I didn't add any i9 on my CPU list because there aren't many available in Brazil, so their price is high as f***.
*Would my 650W PSU work well with any of these components or I would have to buy a 700W or a 750W one?
*Would it be safe to use my old HDD on this new build?
*If there's another CPU with similar performance with the ones on my list, and it fits my plan, please suggest it http://m.**********************.com/sfp/images/design/usr/smilies/smile.gif
*If you think I should wait, please convince me =p
