Hello, I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my current CPU and Motherboard for awhile now.
I normally play p3dV4, dayz, and cities skylines. I rotate games play one for a few weeks and forget about the others. I do spend more time on p3d then anything else.
My current setup minus the GPU is from around JAN/FEB of 2013.
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LE plus
CPU - Intel i5 3570K (ivy Bridge) overclocked to 4.2GHz
16GB DDR3 ram can't remember the speed 3000 or 3200 I think
Custom liquid cooling loop
Win 7 home 64 bit
The GPU I upgraded about a year and a half ago. It's a Asus NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB.
I am looking at these processors/ trying to narrow down which to pick. I don't want to spend more and overkill if I can spend a little less
The 3 CPU's I am considering
intel i7 8700K (8thgen)
Intel 7th Gen Core i7-7700K Processor
Intel 8th Gen Core i5-8600K Processor
I have not narrowed down a motherboard yet but I am looking at these two
Asus Intel Z370 ATX Gaming Motherboard
ASUS Strix H270F
I know I'll have to get 16GB's of DDR4 ram since mine is DDR3.
Currently in p3dv4 I get 10-25FPS using PMDG aircraft, fs dreamteam and other scenery, along with active sky.
I will be planning on overclocking the new CPU.
What are your recommendations on what I have picked so far, or other option's that I have not listed? Going this route do you think I will gain much more performance then what I currently have in P3D?
Thanks for all of the help.
