You meet the reccomened requirements for cyberpunk not the minimum so your good to go.

If you want to hit that 144 fps then a new gpu would help.

I would be looking at the new 3070 or 3060 when released but you may have to upgrade your psu.

Hold fire see how your system performs.

Hmm fair enough... any other areas I should be looking at down the line?

Maybe more ram some games are using over 16gb like ms flight sim 2020.

Do you have your games on a ssd ?

Your system is well balanced but I would upgrade the gpu, 3060 - or 3070 at most, for 1080p. Rest only in a few years when DDR5 is more widespread and games get more demanding.

Hmm nice to know I thought my rig was gonna be outdated would I need to change my mobo for a new 3060/3070? To make it fit. Yes I run most my games on ssd but could probably do with a bigger one

Your motherboard is fine, cases limit the size of graphics cards always remember to check what's the maximum gpu length.

What case do you have ?

GPU Clearance: 395mm, 280mm (with optional HDD brackets installed)

Not sure but I guess it will be December.

Why would you look at a gtx card replacement when you have a freesync monitor? For your budget you could get a top amd card otherwise if you insist to keep with nvidia then sell your monitor and buy a g-sync version.

I checked online it appears his monitor is gsync compatible, he can save more money xD
