[SOLVED] I was here 5 Years ago for your help, I am back again! Upgrade Help

[prodigyboss]

Hello again everyone!

Nearly 5 years ago I was here asking for your advice. I received so many good suggestions that I could not help but come back again. I am afraid my build is starting to age a little bit and I believe it is time to upgrade a few things. Primarily I am looking into a new GPU and CPU. The RTX 2080 has caught my interest. I have my eye on one specifically. The "MSI - GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming X Trio 8GB". I am also looking to upgrade my CPU if you guys feel it is necessary. So here is my build. Please give me any input and advice on upgrades. I want to thank you all in advance for your replies and consideration. I would not have been able to enjoy the past 5 years the same without you!

Older 4 cores are struggling today. You will most certainly want to upgrade your CPU mobo and ram with the GPU.
The 2080 gamingx trio is good, but replaced with the 2070 super.

What is your budget?

Thanks for the build suggestions. Everything looks really good. I just have one question. Is there any reason why I should get a new case?

Probably don't have to assuming you have a decent size atx case.

I just would assume a 5 year old case may not look very modern and i would prefer my hardware to look modern.
