i7 any better then i5 for games?
not always .... 4 core sometime give better result than 4 core + HT (stuttering sometime) for some games an i7 would do better (minimal fps a tad higher but nothing really impressive)
i have a 6600K i wouldn't put 200chf more for a 6700K or a higher i7 (logically i would put the same price of my actual by taking the R5 1600/1600X option and go 6C/12T, if 4C/4T wasn't enough for any games i play actually, and i play at 1440p )
so, unless you plan for a Z370 + 8700K (6C/12T although a 8600K 6C/6T would be fine too) instead of a 4770K or 4790K, you are fine with your 4670K
"VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 970 or AMD R9 290X (
4GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better)" that line is so fun
i wonder what bother you ... you are in the "60fps" configuration and you surely don't aim for a 4k 30fps experience ... (a 1070 is more a 1440p/60fps... 60fps is acceptable 30fps is an heresy)
instead of a 1070 (well they are overexpensive nowadays thanks to the miners and greedy AIB/Etailer) you can also take a 1060 6gb (980 perf level that's a good upgrade for your 970) but they are also a tad overpriced ....
not that Nvidia's card weren't overpriced to begin with .... after all i paid 546chf instead of 400ish for my card .... well, today that specific one is 749chf
(50€ above your 600€)
as for console .... Ps4 Pro mmmhhh .... they claim 4K.... meh.... 30fps? no thanks, do they make the game work at 60fps if the resolution is 1080? probably not ... rather 30fps since it's console domain (it's still a midrange CPU and low mid GPU combined in a "not bad but under the average" SOC ) ME:A 1080p 30fps on PS4 Pro and it's one of the "PS4 Pro Enhanced" games
i would considere a Xbox One X for console exclusives, alongside my PC for anything else, rather than a PS4 Pro (even if there is some PS4 exclusive that tempt me ... i can't just resolve myself to get a PS4
)
i would keep what you have since the 970 can pull better numbers than a ps4 pro, since you are already a pc user, stay with that, use a console controller if you want to feel comfortable.
yep a 970 is already above a Ps4 Pro
(although the issue for the OP isn't likely the controller)
Question: Why do you need to buy anything right now? What is your monitor’s resolution (not in system specs)?
Are you having specific problems?
