Alrighty. I have had this current PC for a couple years and due to budgetary reasons I opted for components that were already a few years old during the building process of it. And well in 2020 the components definitely show their age with more modern games that I've been playing recently. These games would include the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey. And I think it's due for a bit of an upgrade to get it a bit more up to date with the current times. The reason I need help is because for the couple years that I've had this PC I haven't been keeping up with what's going on in the world of tech and PCs. I have done a bit of digging and looking around for components and this is the current list of components that I've been thinking.
Intel i5 9600K
ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8GB) GDDR4 RAM
GeForce RTX 2070 (haven't thought of the exact model, it will then depend on availability and whatnot)
Corsair RM850x 850W (Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that 850W is a bit overkill so I'll possibly downscale that to 750W)
Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD (I already have a 120GB SSD with my OS and some essential programs on it as well as a 1TB HDD but I figured higher capacity SSD would be nice to get those speedier load times)
This would be an upgrade from the following specs
Intel i5 4690K (I have the ol' trusty Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler on it and that still works just fine but maybe I'll get a new cooler. Just not sure yet)
An Asrock MoBo that I don't remember the exact model of
Crucial Ballistix 8GB GDDR 3 RAM
ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 970
A Cooler Master 500W PSU again I don't remember the model name.
The MoBo, RAM, and the PSU I carried over from the previous build so they're even older. About 4-5 years maybe.
I will be getting a new case as well since I want something that's a bit better quality and some of the USB connectors are pretty wrecked (they we're not very good quality in the first place)
Oh and I am running Windows 10 just in case that it's relevant information.
Thank you!
