TexTexan 0 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Been a few years since I updated my PC so considering a Xmas present upgrade! Mainly used for 1440p gaming/general use. Current system: CPU Intel Core i5 8600K @ 3.60GHzRAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel 3200 @ 1066MHz (15-15-15-36)Motherboard ASRock Z370 Extreme4GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GBMonitors Acer XB271HU GSync (2560x1440@165Hz) Dell S2716DG GSync (2560x1440@165Hz)Storage 4TB Seagate ST4000DM000-1F2168 (SATA) 1TB Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 (SATA) 2TB Seagate ST2000VN000-1H3164 (SATA) 960GB SanDisk Ultra II 960GB (SSD) 250GB Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB (SSD)Optical Drives ASUS DRW-2014L1TPSU 550/650W Brand Name Bronze/Gold (I can't remember, need to check) I'm considering a 2080 Super upgrade... - Assuming I just can't swap out the 1080 for a 2080 without there being a bottleneck? - If so, is it just a CPU and MB upgrade that I'd need as well? - CPU/MB suggestions – best bang for buck? - Any other thoughts? Many thanks! Edited December 3, 2019 by TexTexan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamble 91 Posted December 3, 2019 Video is all you should need to upgrade, still a great cpu that you could OC too. Looking at most charts, even a rtx 2070 Super should be just fine for 1440p with mostly ultra settings. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-super-gaming-z-trio/29.html https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-super-gaming-z-trio/29.html Might be the better buy for cost/performance.
