Hey folks
I am thinking about upgrading my PC. This is going to be my general usage and gaming build. Mostly gaming.
I am little behind with the newest tech.
I have a general idea on what I want but not sure exactly what to get.
currently i am using the following:
I7 4790k Devil’s Canyon
MSI Z97 Game 5 as MOBO
DDR 3 32gb
EVGA GTX 980ti AIO hybrid
Seagate 4TB hybrid drive
monitors:
Acer Predator x34p as main monitor
AOC 29 inch as aux monitor
I don't really care about RGB or color scheme.
I may consider getting another x34p later on.
I am not sure if going AMD or Intel will be a netter route. They both have new tech just releasing.
I am not planning on picking up the parts until end of the this year or even into Jan or Feb of 2021. I supposed i can pick up as if they are on sale. I am not in a rush at the moment.
Here is what i am thinking
Option 1
Intel and Nvidia
NZXT Kraken x53 as AIO cooler
~$130 or other AIO cooler within price point
Win X Pro
~$140
G Skill Rip Saw V 32gb 3600 (2x 16gb)
~$140
MSI MAG z490 Tomahawk as MOBO
~$190
i7 10700k
~$377
RTX 3080
~$750
Sandisk Plus SSD 2TB
~$190 or any other 2TB SSD
overall the cost will be around $1917USD
Assuming i get it from Amazon i get cash back of 5%. Thats about $95USD back.
Option 2
Team Red
same as above with different CPU, GPU and MOBO.
MSI MPG X570 MOBO
~$160
Ryzen 5800 X
~$450
RX 6800 XT
~$650
Option 2 will cost $1860USD. With Amazon i get back about $93 back. Option 2 is little cheaper compare to Option 1.
cost wise they are not too far off.
i am plan on recycling my case and my PSU.
I have Corsair 1200 W gold PSU and Corsair 540 high airflow case.
i guess what will give me the most bang for my bucks.
