    Hey guys,

    I'm buying a 1070 and 1440p monitor soon and wondering if anything else in my current rig will hold it back.

    CPU: 4690k
    PSU: Corsair VS Serie VS550
    MOBO: MSI Z87-G43, ATX, Sockel 1150
    RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800U CL10-10-10-27

    Thanks.

    Nope. Nothing. If you really wanted to you could add another 8gb of RAM. You won't need it though.
    You have an SSD in there?

    Great thanks. I have a 250gb SSD and will probably upgrade to 1TB later in the year. Would going to DDR4 RAM be worthwhile or would that mean having to get a new MOBO as well?

    Would mean a new motherboard and a new CPU, not worth it

    There's no point doing iterative upgrades - invest in top quality peripherals - it always makes the machine seem better.

    If you have money for a 1TB SSD, a CPU and a Mobo the money would be much better spent on a 1080 instead (for gaming).
