i5 3570k with 2080ti

[arkimed3ss]

Hello guys, Im planning to get the RTX 2080ti. but i want to know if im going to have problems with my cpu. Currently I own:

CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: GTX 770
Mobo: Asus Maximus Hero VII
RAM: 16GB at 1800
Display: 24" 2560x1440 at 60hz- I'll move to a 27" 2560x1440 at 165hz

Note: I mainly play BDO PUBG and COD.

At 165Hz you should get a new CPU/Mobo/RAM. There's no reason not to when you're spending so much on the rest of your system. You won't get full use of your 2080 Ti without doing so. An i7-3770K is a possibility though you would have to buy used and you'd be getting considerably lower performance than you would with a 9th-gen i5 or i7.

At 1440P/60hz I would think your 3570K would be ok as long as your have a good overclock such as 4 or 4.2ghz but with the higher refresh rate of 165hz you'll need a better CPU (& MB/RAM). For the price of the 2080 ti though I'd snag a 9600K/Z370 or Z390 with 16gb DDR4 & a GTX 1070 ti or 1080.

Considering I must get a new setup i have to go for the RTX 2080 and not the Ti version. So what do you think about this one: https://imgur.com/a/kexLXGn

I can swtich the CPU and mobo to a z390 and a i7 9700k fo an extra 70€ if it worth.

I will use my old PSU(Seasonic 700W) and my old cooler (Kraken x61)

An 8700K clocked the same as the 9700K is nearly equal. Not exactly worth the extra money unless you just want the latest tech.

At 1440p CPU has a small disparity. A 2700x is cheaper and will perform,the same in gaming.
