Hello everyone:

I am looking to upgrade my build

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Storage: 2 TB WD HD & 500 GB ssd
Mainboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
RAM: AMD Tridentz G.SKILLZ DDR4 16gb 3600MHz
PSU: Corssair CX650M 650W 80 plus gold semi modular
Case: PHANTEKS Evolv X
Display: (Usual) 1080p 144Hz & 1440p 144Hz

The reason I want to upgrade is that NVIDIA Ampere and new CPU's will be coming out later this year. I mainly want to upgrade my GPU however, I am unsure about upgrading to a 2080 Super/Ti or should I wait for Ampere. During this quarantine, I want to start gaming/streaming and I know that 1060 wont cut it. Also, there are some games that I play suffer but should I hold off until Ampere? Also should I upgrade my CPU as well? Since prices for AMD 3000's series is at a reason cost. Please let me know what you guys think and thanks for the advice. Be safe and have a good day!

Ok.
When the 3000 series gpu’s are released you may find really good pricing on new and used 2080’s.

Id suggest waiting if you want to save some money and see what the new architecture brings us.
