I just made a big upgrade to my current setup,
went from 1080 to 3080 ASUS TUF
got the LG 27" 27GN950-B
Asus Strix 850 watt power supply
This is obviously to get the possible experience for upcoming games such as cyberpunk.
I also needed the color accuracy of that monitor as I do both photography and videography, I made the choice as it provides both worlds very well.
My current setup which I've had for the last couple of years is as follows,
8700K OC to 5 Ghz
16GB ram at 2400Hz
many drives that include SSD's
an Asus Strix motherboard z370 Gaming Edition
After doing research I went for that purchase after knowing my CPU won't get bottlenecked, I recently changed the thermal paste on my CPU since it has been going for almost 3 years strong now, the temps on it is perfect, the h100i v2 AIO is also looking good, and I feel like doesn't need changing any time soon.
How future proof would you say this set up is, and do you think it was a good purchase decision. I couldn't go full-on the upgrade as it would have been way too expensive, this current upgrade has already cost me 1500 pounds and above.
Also, WHEN WILL THE 3080 TUFF BE RELEASED, I'VE PREORDERED IT BUT I CAN'T FIND OUT WHEN I WILL GET MY HANDS ON IT???

A 27inch I didn't think they build them that small again
On the new 3080 card have a 2.1 HDMI but not on that 27GN950-B Pc monitor so you lose the 48Gbps on HDMI that waste of money IMO.
