I am looking to upgrade my system in the very near future. I have been running the same CPU/Motherboard setup for roughly 8 years now I believe, but I have been very bottlenecked since upgrading GPUs and Monitors recently. My system currently is running i5 3570k with 16GB Ram heavily overclocked with EVGA 1080ti's in SLI on custom watercooling with 4k 60hz gaming monitor.
My rig is mainly used personally for gaming with the occasional video editing, but lately, I have been dabbling in streaming on twitch while I game and my system has been heavily holding me back. I upgraded to a pair of 1080ti's during the crypto mining crash, picking up used 1080tis for $250ea with worn out fans with the expectations to put them on water, so i have been running them in SLI and i quickly found that most games push the CPU to the mid to high 90 percentages and im only seeing 50-60% usage out of the GPUs during gaming, but i have been just living with it while waiting for Zen 2 to come out. Currently i game on the desktop pc, but been using my laptop to run the OBS Studio for processing the stream, since trying to run both on the desktop at the same time was heavily overloading it, requiring me to drop setting drastically previously.
My question is this...
Which route do you think is better for me...
(Ryzen 3700/3900) and keep my old 3750k desktop to run as the OBS streaming PC off the onboard display GPU
or
Should i just start over and shoot to the Ryzen 3950 and do it all on the new system? I would be using the 1080ti's in the new setup, so just new CPU/Motherboard/Ram
