Can I get by spending $350 to $400 on a graphics card (for example a GeForce RTX 2060) or do I need a new system?
I want to have "great" graphics in games at 2k since that is the maximum my monitor (144 MHz refresh rate). I want the option of VR in the future. I currently have a:
GeForce GTX 760
Intel Core i7-4820K which has four channel memory
32 gb RAM
PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots on the motherboard
A fairly new 512gb SSD main.
I do not want my cpu to be a choke point.
I can spend a total of $1000 but the idea of migrating to a new computer is a much bigger turn off than spending the money. I have been building computers since 1989 and my hate of migrating has grown exponentially. With a new system, I assume anything but a fresh install is still a totally bad idea.
Thank you for all your answers.
P.S. Sorry if this sounds familiar to a post in another section. That seemed to have disappeared, I posted this, and then that post reappeared.
