I'm going from this..


  • Intel i7 3820

    Asus Sabertooth X79

    Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600

    GTX 980TI

    Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD

    Win7

To this...


  • Intel i7 8700K

    Asus Prime Z390-P

    Corsair 16BG DDR4 3000

    RTX 2070

    Samsung 970 Pro 512GB M.2 NVM Express SSD

    Win10

All I do is game so I went with the i7 8700K over the newer i9's. Will be playing at 2560x1440p @ 165hz on my ROG 27" IPS GSYNC monitor. Goes without saying, but I was long overdue for a upgrade!

Instead of doing something like that. I have upgraded to E-5 Xeon 2697 v2 12 Core 24 Thread CPU and all the problems are fixed.
