So I've decided against making the jump to 4k gaming for now, the outlay is just more than I can afford.
Okay so I'm currently rocking a Predator X34 Ultrawide Gsync monitor at 100hz. I have a 3930k running at stock (I don't get overclocking at all) on a Asus x79 Sabertooth motherboard, 16gb's of Samsung Green DDR3 a Palit 1070ti and a 500gb 960 evo.
I've noticed is finally starting to struggle with newer AAA games, Assassins Creed Origins is giving me an average 56fps with high settings, Far Cry 5 I'm getting 57fps, and so on and so on. Origins in particular turns into a slide show when things get busy. I haven't even tried Odyssey yet and I'm thinking this is just a sign of things to come. To be fair the core system is going on 7 years old now.
I want a significant bump in my gaming performance, obtaining that magic 60fps minimum in AAA titles with as much ultra settings as possible. I do intent on getting an ultra wide 144hz monitor in the future though.
I have a total budget of £2k but any savings here would be helpful as I also need to buy a new phone and want a Note 9, I'll hopefully be able to resell my GPU, CPU etc to offset the cost somewhat though.
So guys, what do you think?
