Upgrade Recommendations

[bot102]

I think I am starting to fall behind just a bit on my tower, with DDR4 and new Intel/Nvidia/AMD products coming out. Here is my current rig. Looking for any update ideas that I can shoot for when I get home from deployment here in around 4 months. Any insight on waiting, or trying to pick a deal now would be appreciated

New video cards are 2 moths away, I'd upgrade that and leave the rest alone unless you want a 4k monitor at 100hz and $1k

That is what I was mainly thinking for the time being. I debated whether or not just picking up a second 970 hoping DX12 and a GSYNC monitor would resolve any micro stutter. But read an article and think I will wait as well.

How do you like that CPU cooler? I bought a antec cooler and it makes a whir whir whir noise and I am just not a fan of it.

I've got the same cooler and its great.

Really no reason to upgrade anything but the graphics once the new cards come out. Great setup.

Thanks for the insight gents.

The H100i is a great cooler. Mine is a bit beat up and I've considered buying a new one.

idk dude your pc is still pretty current, i would wait a while to upgrade it honestly, but the h100i you should probably get another one if it's beat up cause it could leak and ruin your whole build.
