Hello! Both my PC's CPU and GPU are now caput-however I've been saving a little for an upgrade. Not a major upgrade, but I was looking for some advice.
The most demanding thing I'll be doing is gaming, and I generally like good performance-which I've mostly been able to get, but was just recently falling back a little.
My old GPU was a GTX 1080, and my old CPU was an Intel i5-7600k. Both served me extremely well for years, but I figured I might as well get something a little shinier. I have a friend selling a GTX 1080ti that he's willing to give to me for not very much at all, and I'm likely going for that. My question was more CPU based-should I bump up to an I7?
A lot of games I play are quite demanding (although not all...thanks Paradox) so I'd like something beefy but not too pricey. My motherboard is an ASUS Z170-E. Leaning toward an i7 7700k perhaps?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
