I currently have resorted to gaming on a back-up PC due to the death of my main 1155 rig's motherboard. Since I can't source any decent replacements, And to a lesser extent existing hardware is old anyway, I am thinking about shelling out for a new system.
My current backup PC specs:
*MSI - Z170A Krait Gaming 3X Motherboard
*Intel Core i3 6100
*GTX 980
*Kingston HyperX Fury HX424C15FB2K2/16 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Black
My current shopping basket for new system:
*AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
*Asus ROG Crosshair VII hero WIFI X470
*G.skill Trident z RGB 16gb DDR4 3200mhz
*Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2070 Winforce 8GB
*Amended Parts:
EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2 80+ Gold Fully Modular Power Supply
----
I already have an existing case and PSU from my now defunct 1155 system. I will be using it primarily for gaming. The mobo could be overkill, but I wanted it to be very robust this time around along with having a good audio solution.
In addition to whether the selected parts make sense, it would be nice to know if this is a good time to make such an upgrade. Cheers!
