I will be building a new rig and decided I want an RTX 2080. I will be gaming on my Alienware AW3418DW 34" UW 1440p 120hz monitor.
I am currently running an MSI x87 Gaming mobo, 2x MSI Quicksilver GTX 1070 SLI, i5-4670k, 16GB Gskill DDR3. SLI isn't scaling well in most games anymore, but only one 1070 doesn't max settings with my crazy monitor. Upgrading just the GPU seems to not make sense since my CPU is bottlenecking at this point anyways.
Instead of upgrading my current system, I will be selling it and starting from scratch. Probably in late January. It has been 3 years since I looked at components and I feel very out of the loop. Please recommend every other component for the system staying under $1200. Newegg/amazon preferred. This is perhaps an atypical way to ask for build advice, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm just curious what different ideas people would have given only one static component and a set budget.
$1200 does not need to include tax or OS.
Any helpful responses would be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: hmm, haven't posted here in a while. Can't seem to change my old signature rig specs. Correct current system is written in the post. Thanks!
