Hey guys
im looking to upgrade my PC, i originally intended to build a whole new system, but it seems my CPU would be just fine for the task, comparing to some of my friends with similar setups.
planing to play warcraft 3, and warcraft reforged once it comes out, and also stream the games. im going to use NVENC encoding.
i currently got this prebuild PC from 2013
CPU: i7 3770 ( non K )
GPU: GTX 650
Mobo: i think MS-7797 from MSI, its a medion pc "µATX"
PSU: 450w i dont know the brand right now, but i'd guess its of rather low quality (prebuild)
RAM: DDR3 1x 8GB 1600mhz 1x 4GB 1600mhz
case: https://picscdn.redblue.de/doi/pixelboxx-mss-56947150/fee_786_587_png
Monitor is from AOC, 1920x1080 60hz
so im thinking of simply upgrading my GPU and PSU and a 2nd Monitor, also eventually the case if it doesnt fit.
but im a pc noobie and not so confident if i might run into troubles etc..
what i intend to buy is either a RTX 2080 Aero, as it currently goes for 550€ in a store nearby
( but im not sure if that card might run to hot, with just 1 fan ?)
or a RTX 2070Super from KFA2 for 519€
PSU Be Quiet Straight Power 11 650w
and then possibly upgrade the other components a bit later
any help on if that would be up for the task, and a possible upgrade. or which trouble i might run into would be much appreciated
thanks a lot
