Help In Upgrading~

[Anariga]

Hi Im looking to upgrade my current rig in view of the upcoming Black Friday Sales.
Im looking to play overwatch on a 144hz monitor.
Current Rig:
Processor:i7 4770
Mobo: Asus H97M
Memory: 8GB Graphics:GTX950
PSU: 500W inbuild into a case which brand i do not know....

Looking to upgrade my monitors and rig. I prefer to keep some of my rig though so as to save some money. Budget would be $800.
Any kind souls could tell me what i can keep and what i should upgrade to achieve playing 144hz on overwatch?
Thank you~

For your budget might be hard to squeeze.

Cos if u want to upgrade get a GPU like GTX 1070 and a monitor like benq XL24 total maybe 1k+even with coupons discount maybe hit 900+.

Not very possible. The 1070 will set u back by 500 at the very least.

Adding the monitor... that will be close to 1k

Only GPU like EVGA get the cheapest GTX 1070 from Amazon.

monitor u have to buy in local.

Reasons is that GTX 1070 is able to ship to SG for free, but not monitor.

would qoo10 have a promotion this 11.11 (Pray~~) for the gtx1070?

And would this monitor suffice from amazon to give me 1080p 144hz?

i guess at most a $100 coupon?

u were abit too late to the party unfortunately. 2 weeks ago, there was a cart + shop coupon with each providing $100 off. many people, including me, got a 1070 for only 388.

i think the monitor would work. but u ship over to sg already how much... not to mention import tax.

 

[Anariga]

damn it missed the promo. lets hope theres at least a 100 dollar off for 11.11

Hmm but the monitor from amazon still much cheaper than local haha.

But is my mobo and processor sufficient enuff?

I don't think it's a problem. It's only overwatch.

Lazada is the one acquired by Chinese company, so sure have 11.11 sale.

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

anyway TS, if u not gonna increase your budget u can try using GTX 1060 6GB + BenQ XL2411Z. (well i think u should be able reach max freq with this 2 upgrades)

 

[Anariga]

But i have qn. Will the gtx1060/1070 fit my current motherboard? And 500w sufficient power?? Thanks again for your kind assistance~~

both can fit into your current motherboard, just that not sure for your casing.

the psu still enough for GTX 1070 (but if your psu really are those non branded, u might need to consider changing it as well in later time.)

and as for GTX 1060 shouldn't be any issues to the psu and casing u are using.

LOL that's never the reason Lazada having sale on 11.11.. They had it since their inauguration year in 2014...

GTX 1070 only consumes on average 30W more than GTX 1060 6GB....

damn with such epic graphic the fps hover around ave of 120+ fraps, and when fighting (shoot out) ave become 110+ fraps. seems like GTX 1070 might be the best bet.

 

[Anariga]

Should i get extra 8gb of ram as well?

 

[Anariga]

Any casing and psu that can fit the zotac 1070 and my i4770 and h97me mother board to recommend? Cheap but nice can ler. And wont explode on me in future can ler.
