I have a case of upgradeitus

TangoEchoAlpha · 25 Jul 2019 at 11:32

So I fancy some upgrades to my current rig - used for a mix of gaming, general usage and productivity such as Sony (Magix) Vegas.

A lot of the current rig is reusable, but this is my current setup:

Ryzen 2700X
Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 X470
32GB 8-Pack B-die memory
EVGA GTX1080Ti FTW3
Lian-Li PC-011D
2x 1TB NVMe M2 drives
Seasonic 750W platinum PSU

I game at 1440p, monitor is a GSYNC display.

Thoughts as to where I go from here? I have my own thoughts but would like to hear any other suggestions

Nothing really need - don't you fancy a holiday instead?

Sony Vegas would appreciate the 3900X but I don't expect good stock of those well into August.

Wait for next gen - both CPU and GPU.

That motherboard is mighty and 'if' AMD do carry through support for Zen 3 - that board should pay for itself again.

Really? I have a case of upgraderegretius...that's only going to get worse when the bank statements arrive.

Nothing in that system needs upgrading. Waste of money imo.

Yep, that sig will have certainly created a dent.

Thanks all, I had planned on reusing the 2700X as part of an Unraid server/storage for home CCTV box - so was factoring in reusing that if I upgrade.

I don't think I would bother.

Nothing that really needs upgrading in my opinion. You could get something new but it would be marginal performance unless you really needed it.

3900/3950x maybe but it all depends how much you would benefit from it. If it’s worth it to YOU buy it that’s what I always say

But if you can’t justify it just save and wait for next gen. Put it towards something else etc.

When I get upgradeitus I usually just get myself a couple of cheap bits and bobs. few bits/mods for the case/desk area perhaps to keep me busy. Few cheap peripherals etc.

Although there isn’t really much worth upgrading to at the minute

A 3700X might give semi-decent improvement if you're gaming at 144hz, but otherwise kinda hard to recommend anything, unless you want a 2080Ti.
