I built this rig in Jan 2015 with a GTX 980 ICX 2.0... It has been rather disappointing, that none of the CPUs that have been released in the last 5 generations have been an impressive enough upgrade, to get me to spend the money to upgrade... (The insane prices of DDR4 have not helped)

Intel 4790K, stock clocks.
Corsair H00i V1.
AsRock Z97 Extreme 6
EVGA GTX1080Ti FTW3.
4x4GB G.Skill Ripjaw X
Corsair HX750i with individually sleeved cables.
Corsair Obsidian 750D
A bunch of random storage. SSD and spinner.

Ducky One TKL RGB with Cherry Silver switches
Logitech G930
Asus PG279Q
Dell U2518D

added a new worker..waiting for prices to crash as there appears to be order cuts from retailers
Ryzen 2600/b350 (475 hs)
i shouldve gotten a used 1700. it would've been cheaper, same wattage, and better hash
vega64's
prices are coming back to sane levels again

I got a new machine on the house, my first proper HTPC.
The specs:
Mobo: ASRock AB350 Gaming ITX/ac
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G
CPU Cooler: AMD Wraith MAX (hand me down from a friend with an 1800X)
GPU: RX Vega 11 (from the 2400G)
Chassis: Xigmatek Eris
PSU: Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W (paid US$20 for it, bnib)
Storage: WD Black M.2 512gb + Toshiba P300 7200RPM 2TB

Its still in progress, when the next generation of Nvidia GPUs land i'll be getting one of them and also upgrading the CPU in favor a Ryzen 7 2700 or 2700X.

I guess I should add to the list that I picked up a Vive Pro at launch to play around with.

Mine is getting o a bit now but I can't seem to find a reason to upgrade!

4670k
8gb ram
Gigabyte z87 board - originally I ran it as a hackintosh
760gtx

I play some fairly simple games, the most demanding being overwatch/doom. I do flirt with the idea of changing the graphics card though. What do people think is a worthwhile upgrade?

At this point I would wait for the next generation of cards. I am running two 1080 GTX in SLI. Looking forward to the next generation releases...

Thanks, I will be holding out for sure but probably for the effect it has on current prices as I'm unlikely to want/need something top of the range. Would a second hand 970 be worthwhile? Or do I need to go a notch higher? I suppose really I'm thinking of the new doom game and fallout 4, as by the time the next elder scrolls game arrives I'll probably need a whole new rig.

If you want to run next generation games at full bore you’re gonna need a top end card, sorry to say. Maybe wait and pick up a 1080 gtx when next generation releases. But, make sure you have a PSU that can owner it as well, and that your mobo has compatible slots.

Yeah my case is a node 304 and it's a tight squeeze, a mini itx card is usually a better bet.

I'm not too fussed about absolute max settings, high is good enough for me at 1080p. I'll see what happens to prices but can't really see myself spending over £150 tops.

Also looking forward to new releases but have no real reason to upgrade.

Currently running an R9 390 and a 4690k.

Does everything I want satisfactorily, so unless the preformance gains are large enough, I can't find any reason to change anything.

Hoping my next setup will have a 6 to 8 core cpu and something with a 1080 to 1080ti level gpu for 3D rendering. Really wanna go full AMD but Intel and Nvidia are simply more suited for my specific workflow. Intel's offereings aren't enough to warrant the upgrade, and no clue about Nvidia until they announce something. :/

Biggest gain for me right now is actually a CPU upgrade. But if I change that, I'll need to buy new ram and a mobo, get a new OS and set everything up on it.

As a result, I might as well just get a whole new PC.
