16 gig ram 3600
Gagabyte xt70 elite motherboard

The RTX2060 Super and RTX2070 are close in price BTW. I have seen RTX2070 cards for around the £350 mark. Also as you have a 1440p monitor like me,I would go for an 8GB VRAM card - there are also sub £300 RX5700 cards if you want a cheaper option.

The RTX3000 might launch around May or September time,if Nvidia keeps to schedule though. However,from a GTX780 any of these GPUs will be a huge upgrade TBH.

It might be a few months away or the end of the year depending on what launch period Nvidia will use.

Ok thanks but I guarantee if I buy a card next week they'll release the 3000 series just after my luck lol

Depends what price we talking about? If is something close to 250, the 5600XT is better card and so are second hand V56 & V64s. Also the 1660Ti is faster than the 1660S

I looked at the 1660 ti it has ddr 6 and is a bit faster don't want amd want to stay with Nvidia really because of driver issues whilst I've had amd cards with out any problems before its for my son who doesn't know much about pc stuff so if he had problems I'd have to go round and sort it all the time lol thanks for your input though
