Got an itch to do some upgrading but it's probably fairly pointless. I game at 1440p with a 144hz monitor and struggle to get to 144fps, mostly sitting around 110fps.
I'm tempted by swapping out the motherboard and processor. As the motherboard is very basic and either that or my cpu gives me very limited overclocking head room. I struggle to get the ram above 3200 cl16.
Happy to sell parts to help fund new parts. At the moment I would put about £400 towards an upgrade.
Obviously new GPU and CPU are being launched soon, so it's probably worth waiting for those.
What would you do?
Specs:
Ryzen 7 2070x (CPU)
MSI Mortar b350m (Motherboard)
2x8gb Corsair 3600mhz (Ram)
Gigabyte Mini 1070 (GPU)
Corsair AX 760 (PSU)
Various random SSD's and a 1tb HD
Fractal Design define mini (Case)
Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom (Air Cooler)
