Hey guys I am about to replace my old system (6700non-k), 16gb2400ram, gtx1060) so that I can play the latest AAA titles at 1440p 100+fps.
I have two options.
Buy this from my Father. Built 5 months ago and barely used because he likes his surface pro instead.
The only concern is will the 8700 be holding back the 3070 too much or will I be okay?
Or build my own from scratch or maybe even buy Dad's comp and sell the mobo, CPU and GPU and buy a new 3700x or 10700k or something?
Any ideas guys?
