The rams a weak point 99% in that build possibly causes bottleneck (not letting your games play to the full capacity that you're other parts are capable of) i'm not 100% but it's a possibility (im newish to this computer building world but i've built 2), i mean it's worth upgrading the ram to 3200 mhz
I mean 1070 is a very good GPU so you shouldn't be wanting upgrades unless you WANT too what's the problem with the system? scan.co.uk/products/16gb-(2x8gb)-...8-18-36-xm Should help If anyone is reading this and i'm wrong please correct me as stated i've not got as much knowledge as most What's the problem? why do you wanna upgrade how do you know theres a weak point? frame drops? |

| Its something to do with the networking as my internet is pretty good on all other systems in my house and xboxs and stuff i run wireless on everything but my internet peaks on this pc at 2mbps when my internet is much better than that 60mbps + in game i have decent ms for where the servers are and then i go from 20ms to something like 500+ and it keeps changing its pretty weird but i dont know where the problem could be. |

its got to be the wireless card then lol.
Test it with Ethernet cable, if better replace/get rid of the wireless card and continue using ethernet if can if can't get an upgrade how far are you from your internet hub? The more walls the WiFi signal has to travel through, the weaker your signal will become. |

Cherps wrote Hi im looking to upgrade my PC if you could help me please 8600K is a good CPU, not the best but not really something to look into upgrading until around the end of the year frankly. RAM, definitely could use a major upgrade. 3200MHz minimum and 16GB. The difference faster RAM and more of it can make is rather surprising, genuinely go check some benchmarks out about this on youtube. The CPU cooler I'd toss in the trash, get something from Noctua, $70+ USD range and you'll be in the best temps you can find in air cooling. Case choice is entirely aesthetic and personal. No one can choose that for you. Great thing about cases, so long as you match where things get mounted you can literally build your own case however you want. If you're looking into audio solutions to make your mic/audio sound better, check out DACs. Creative Sound makes some really decent entry pieces. PSU is fine, unless you're planning on adding more things that draw larger amounts of power. Though I would always recommend being 80+ Gold minimum and always fully modular. |
