Right then, I planned to upgrade my system next year. But recent policy of govt. is bothering me, a lot. So I guess I will just forward my plans and upgrade now.
My present system is the following: 6700K — Z170 Motherboard — GTX 970 — 8x2 GB DDR RAM — TX650M — 1920x1200 monitor (planned to upgrade next year or the year after). Using this system from 2016.
Usage: Gaming 70%, Video editing 25%, Normal browisng/movie etc. 5%. Gaming means single players like GTA, Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Assassins Creed, CoD, BF etc. Usually like to max out, but I have adapted to mid-high too. For gaming, I must say, per core performance is equally important as multi core. In that regard, Intel still outperforms AMD? I know AMD is all the craze now, but I have never had one, and I am unsure about their longevity. Last thing I would like is a processor fail on me, no clue how that experience is!
Pls advise what would be a significant upgrade from this system. Would plan to keep this for at least five years. No hot, or power hungry CPU, please, cannot stand them. The budget of 30k I chose is for CPU and Motherboard only. I will upgrade GPU later (eyeing a 4060 when prices settles a bit more, or maybe a 3060 ti even if someone sells cheap). And I am assuming I can carry forward my RAM to the next system as they are DDR4 type, or new DDR5 required?
Thanks in advance as always.
