The build looks solid, but if you have extra cash to improve something, upgrading the CPU would be a smart move. New titles are already seeing gains from more cores.
I own an i7 3770K and a GTX 1070; I was about 10 frames slower than another player using an i7 8700K with the same GPU in "Shadow of The Tomb Raider."
In "Watch Dogs 2," I struggled to keep a steady 60 FPS even at low settings, and it seems this game also benefits from newer, stronger processors. It feels like the time when four-core chips were sufficient for gaming is coming to an end.
It varies based on how you use it. For top-tier games, you need a quicker SSD and sharper graphics—especially with ray tracing—but honestly, that’s mostly just flashy features that don’t really improve performance for most players.
