Need some help with my PC.

Probably not. If you want the best, go for i7-8700K (or wait how 9700K's turn out)

Quickly checking, cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4790K/3937vs2384 is the only one I found.

The CPU is probably fine. Switching from a 1070 to a 1080 is a waste of money if you ask me. If you're not going for a 1080Ti then forget it (the RTX series is yet to be fully tested, I wouldn't be a guinea pig myself). If anything, get yourself a 8700k, which is the best bang for the buck currently in terms of CPU. Either that or check your ram. 16gb is probably still enough, but you know...

If I were you, and I assume you don't live in the worst possible place ever to buy hardware like I do, just wait. Cyberpunk comes in, you try it out with what you have, if it's not quite enough then you upgrade.

Staying out the gun store...

Someone knows the good stuff.

Just don't buy a gaming PC from Walmart.

Wow.

That went from bad to worse, fast.

The mobo choice for that mid-range PC he received (we'll ignore they sent the wrong sku, for now) was absolutely hot garbage. On a gaming PC for a $1400 price point, unbelievable.

I wasn't surprised by the poor build, but the PSU, the ram (that ram stick made me laugh out loud), the MOBO... That is a giant heaping piece of shit for the money paid. I built my 3820/970 with 16gb of ram on an LGA2011 mobo when it was all brand new, for that money. With a Sabretooth x79 mobo.

Walmart... Like mousemurderer said, no. Just no.

You are where I am then. The waiting game.

I have been wanting to upgrade to QHD/UHD for some time now. However, the G-Sync/FreeSync thing is too annoying for me at the moment. Nvidia will eventually have to give up on G-Sync, because it is dumb. When that happens, I don't want to have paid a premium for their greediness.

So, I wait. Ny next build will be AMD CPU based, and if Nvidia doesn't get their hands out of my wallet, I will ditch them too for the first time.

Btw, build your own PC. It is so easy, so much better bang for buck, you get exactly what you want.

I hadn't even thought of SLI, it's certainly a more attractive price tag. 

I'll second this.  I just upgraded from 2 way SLi with 980Ti's.  It did make a positive difference (most of the time), but it was only rarely a difference that made the attendant nuisances worth putting up with.  

Ignoring cost (i.e. doubling your spend) the nuisances include but aren't limited to; more than double the noise, extra load on PSU, poor optimisation in a lot of games and occasional weird glitches (most commonly microstuttering - in my experience with it, at least).

Sorry Doc.  Reading comprehension fail.  You are quite correct.

Don't even joke about that. It's already killing me. 

Anyway, I've got 16gb of RAM and I'm using an SSD, so I figure those are fine. 



Ultimately this thread has convinced me of two things. Might as well wait, and I really don't know enough about this shit.
