Hi folks,
So I managed to get my hands on an RTX 3070 (At MSRP), but in my aging system I'm experiencing some severe bottlenecking when running on my 1080p monitor.
Specs:
ASUS Maximus VI Formula
i7 4770k
16GB RAM @ 2400Mhz
Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3070 8GB
2x Samsung Evo 870 1TB SSD
Corsair 750W PSU
I know this GPU was a misfit for my aging system, but I'd planned on upgrading my PC completely this year, so when I got through the waiting list for the 3070 I had to jump on it. Now I'm need of some advice for my upgrade path, because I'm unsure what would be wisest to go with first, as I can't buy everything in one go. I'm running it on a 1080p monitor, so I'm running into some severe performance issues at the moment.
I'm looking to upgrade to an AMD 5900X, 16GB DDR4 @ 3200Mhz, 1000W and NVME storage, as well as a 4k ultrawide monitor.
My question is, what would be wisest to start with? A 4k ultrawide monitor, or start building the PC itself? I'm looking for the path which will give me the least amount of bottlenecking, before the entire setup is complete, and I won't be able to buy both the monitor I have in mind and the PC components in one go, I have to spread it out over a couple of months.
