Currently have a i5-2500k and its time for an upgrade.
My PC has lasted me 8 years and still does a decent job, but some new sandbox games that I like to play struggle.
Here are my options I have thought about in terms of CPU and GPU.
Option 1
CPU: Threadripper 2950x
GPU: RTX 2070
Option 2
CPU: Intel Core i9-990k
GPU: 2070 or 2080
Option 3
CPU: Ryzen 2700X
GPU: 2070 or 2080
Option 4 (My gut instinct)
CPU: 3rd gen ryzen (hopefully 16 cores)
CPU: 2080 or Radeon 7
Need other parts, Motherboard, M.2 Drive, RAM, Case, Cooling, Power Supply
Would like a case with a tempered glass side panel and some nice RGB effects.
Don't need monitor or keyboard and mouse.
Budget anywhere from £1700 to £2250.
Would like my system future proof, that's why I like the idea of 16 cores. Don't mind it being 'Overkill' for what I do with a PC'
Any advice would be appreciated. Please feel free to recommend me a system.
