Hey,
So it has been ~7 years since I built my current PC and for the most part it has handled everything I've thrown at it. Over the years I've slowly had to turn my graphics setting down, but recently even on the lowest possible settings I'm starting to max out not only the GPU, but RAM and CPU too... (most noticeably on COD MW release).
Currently I am playing MOBAs, 4x and now COD (reactions are definately not what they used to be!)
Current Build:
Intel i5 4670k
8GB (2x4) @ 1866MHz
Vapor-x 7950 GPU
250gb SSD, 1TB HDD
XFX 750 PRO Black ed - (Gold rating)
Currently running 1080p, however would like to get to 1440 or 4k if possible... So, my current plan:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
16GB (2x8) Running at ~3600MHz
X570 (Gigabyte Aorus Elite or similar) - however I don't think I need the X570 so maybe a B450 instead?
RTX 2080 Super
NZXT H710i (looking at the Phanteks P400a too...) - The case I have currently have, the Zalman Z11+, was great for my 19 year old self but something a bit less bulging now I think!
H100i PRO - although I have the H80i atm, it is rather loud so not sure if I go for an air cooler instead or a different brand...
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB (I may look at using the new PCIE 4.0 M.2s if I stick with the X570)
Generic 1tb SSD
I will most likely reuse the XFX modular PSU that I have, unless there's a reason I should be getting a new one?
Rough budget £1700-1800 all in. I will buy a monitor seperately from this budget so any suggestions on that front would be great too.
Am I on the right track with the above or should I be taking a look at some different parts instead?
Thanks for all your help in advance!
