Hello all, it's been a while but that fun and expensive time has come... Upgrading the gaming PC!
Current PC is:
Intel i5 4690 @ 3.5ghz
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI
ASUS GeForce GTX 970 OC
G.Skill 8gb DDR3 2133
Soundblaster X-Fi
WD Black 256GB Performance SSD - 8 Gb/s M.2
Crucial MX100 2.5" 256GB SATA III
CoolerMaster 1000W PSU
NZXT H440 case
So here's the plan...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. Gaming and some light non-3D Autocad
2. What YOUR budget is. +/- 2500$ CAD
3. What country : Canada
4. I look at prices on Newegg.ca, Pcpartpicker.com, amazon.ca and poke shopbot.ca as well.
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. Don't care... at first glance, was looking at AMD for CPU and NVIDIA for GPU
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts? Keeping the case + PSU. Will keep the the SSD and M2 for now... but if a good deal on a 500gb/1tb M.2 is avail, I could upgrade that as well.
7. No overclocking
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using? Current monitor is 1080p, but will eventually go 4k ( waiting for decent deal on a monitor)
9. WHEN do you plan to build it? Hopefully, max in a week or 2.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software? No software needed
What I had in mind so far: CPU + MOBO + RAM + GPU
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 C16
MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO or MSI RTX 2080 Super SEA Hawk X or... ?
Some questions:
1- regarding the GPU... 2080 super or bite the bullet and go 2080 TI? So many models that I'm kind of lost in there.
Saw this deal today PALIT GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMINGPRO OC that makes me wonder if worth it!? ( CAD 1599$) but cheapest is scary...
EDIT: or this EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti BLACK EDITION XC GAMING for CAD 1599$
2- Will upgrading the HD to a newer model make that big of a difference?
3- I think the PSU will be enough?
Feel free to comment, I might have overlooked something!
Merci d'avance.
