Your getting playable frames right now, so roll with it.
There are just to many MASSIVE leaps coming... that jumping the gun now might be a bit-premature.
You also have HDR-monitors coming out this year. Amd's free sync versions are supposed to be the cheapest and best oddly enough.
IF anything I'd be buying it incrementally. IE Case, Power supply, flashy ddr4 ram, swiftech coolers, silient fans, some lights, SSD's, and When the stuff is released... THEN decide what motherboard/cpu/graphics card ur going to run. and then treat yourself to a gsync or freesync monitor that is HDR. Then theirs your computer chair, desk, headset, mouse keyboard, speakers, router, your cat-x cords, etc. if your going to do it. you may as well do it properly.
damn
How much longer till HDR comes out and how much do you think hdr freesync monitors will cost? I was planning to buy a £115 freesync 1080p soon because I'm using a *** 19' 1280x1024 monitor -_-

Cool, you can change PcPartPicker to Canadian in the upper right if the link I provided is US.

With that budget you should be able to get an i5 and a polaris gpu which launches in june. The polaris gpu will offer gtx 980 level peformance (maybe a bit more) at a price in between the gtx 960 and gtx 970. AMD's zen cpu's will launch near the end of 2016 and will offer great performance. The single core performance will be better than haswell and maybe similar to skylakes performance, plus you will get even more cores at the same price too.Edited by Azor_Ahaii on May 20, 2016 8:00PM0 -

✭In seriousness, I didn't really have a budget so I went to CyberpowerPc.com and dropped some coins on a really nice gaming rig. If money isn't an object for you, you can find some nice stuff up there.1 -

Wait for the 370$ dollar card that is faster than titans X and build around that.

If he can afford the gtx 1070 he should definitely get it, he's in Canada though so it might cost $450-500 CAD, it's overkill for eso and 1080p gaming but useful for any other new game and 1440p gaming0 -

Over kill?
Why save 100$ to own somthing that will be outdated in a year?
When ESO first released min specs where dual core 2.0 and direct x 9.
Now minimum specs are quad core 2.3 and direct x11
Not just future proofing it cost effective. i'm going to build a PC soon just because of this card.Edited by KingYogi415 on May 20, 2016 10:26PM0 -

I don't think eso is ever going to become as demanding as the Witcher 3 or the Division lol. But your right the gtx 1070 sounds lik it will be an amazing card and if he doesn't have enough for it he should probably save up a bit longer for it. It will be future proof and should last him even 5 years with overclocking.
I'm probably going to just get a polaris gpu from amd though because I'm starting uni and I'm going to be broke as hell. I'm only going to be playing at 1080p so a gtx 980 level performance is more than enough for me, and I need to buy an AMD gpu to get all the benefits out of the free sync monitor I'm planning to buy.0 -

PSU: Corsair HX650 Professional.
So should I upgrade this old build? Because I'm currently running all Medium settings at 45fps so let me know what you think thanks.
If your video card supports DX11,you might be ok.
I have a PC that was built specifically for for gaming by IBUYPOWER.com,about 6 years or so ago,and the only thing I have had to do was change my video card.
I run dual core on a W10 OS.0 -

KanedaSyndrome✭✭✭✭Might be time to upgrade. I'm mainly seeing the CPU as a problem, so that means new mobo and CPU. While you're at it you might want a new GPU as well. The RAM might end up being un-compatible, since many newer boards have moved over to DDR4, otherwise, 16GB is a decent amount still.KanedaSyndrome's Suggestions For Game Improvements
