Not been on here for a long time (probably since my last upgrade) but would appreciate some advice on the best upgrade route for gaming.
I currently have i5 4690k on an MSI Z97i gaming board with 8Gb RAM and a GTX970, none of which is overclocked.
Games currently being played or awaiting play are Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dishonor Death of the outsider, Forza Horizon 4, Soma, Watch Dogs 2. I'll be wanting to play the new CoD Modern Warfare and Cyberpunk when released. Also want to play Battlefield V.
I have a LG ultrawide monitor 2560x1080 at 60Hz. I believe it can do 75Hz but doesn't with my current setup. I have no plans to replace this monitor anytime soon.
My thoughts so far have been to get a Ryzen 3600, B450 Tomahawk max and 16Gb RAM and maybe an RTX2060. Trouble is I don't have the budget to upgrade everything at once so my options are:
1: Upgrade CPU/mobo/RAM and overclock GTX 970
2: Upgrade GFX card and overclock i5.
3: Something else if both those are bad ideas
Not sure on best route to take... are ryzen/MSI motherboard bios issues fully resolved or am I better of waiting a couple of months? Would an RTX 2060 (maybe super) be wasted on the I5? Will a GFX card I buy now run Cyberpunk at a decent level?
I have about £400 to spend now, and probably the same again come xmas.
Thanks
PS. What every I buy needs to fit on the NZXT 510.
