Hi all looking to upgrade my system in the next couple of months maybe end of next month...
Currently i have:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Gigabyte X370-Gaming K7
Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce OC 8192MB

Don't need keyboard/mouse/monitor/case/PSU or windows 10 going to hold onto GPU for the time being until the storm has passed as such :-)

Have a full tower case so no worries for room.

As i say i have approx. £3k however out of that £3k will be for a GPU once i'm ready.

Hope this is enough information?

should get a nice some back from your GTX 1080 on second hand market. whats your current monitor as that could be one of the biggest improvements you could make !?

believe x370 can handle ryzen 3*** so if wanting to save cash as well as having something in stock then 3900x could come in handy though for pure gaming 5800x will give you the best increase. that ram can easily be pushed to 3600hz with low timings!
 
Hi thanks sorry forgot to say gaming mainly and work related but work is only general tinkering with excel docs the odd photoshop job.
The monitor is have is an LG 144Hz (dont have the model to hand) but i was looking to upgrade eventually to a super wide curved jobby later on down the line.

I will take a look at the options thank you.
 
Gaming at high resoloution is more gpu bound so even if you get a 5800x your not going to see massive improvements in framerates over yhe 2700x.


If your set on upgrading then 5800x,
X570 tomahawk Wi-Fi good budget option.
3080.
