Hello guys, i just got a nvidia geforce gtx 970 SSC acx 2.0 +, and 8gb of ram, my processor is a core i7 3770, do you think is still good enough for gaming just 1080p,i was thinking about getting a core i7 5 gen, new mainboard and ddr4 ram, but cost like 1000usd, what do you think? Is still powerful enough my processor for 1080p gaming. Thanks

    Your cpu is fine. You don't need to spend money if you get a 3770k, you could overclock, and that will be the easiest upgrade and you could sell your 3770 to recoup some of your funds.

    Capacity isn't as important as speed when it comes to gaming. You should be looking into a nice 16GB kit of 2400MHz RAM.

    Intel i9 10900K | Intel i7 9700K
    MSI MEG Z490 ACE | Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master

    I'm not sure if my motherboard can handle it, is an Intel dh77kc, kind of low end
