Upgrade everything but keep the Nvidia GTX 680

[cbrann.guitar]

I know this sounds crazy but I'm ready to upgrade my system to either a AMD Ryzen 5 or an Intel 5 system and want to use my GTX 680 for now but will upgrade in a year or so.

I currently have an AMD FX 4100 with a recently acquired NVIDIA GTX 680. I only play the Assassins Creed series and currently just started Black Flag.

I hope to reuse my 650w Power Supply, 2 300 GB HDs and 250 GB SSD. Probably need to purchase new Windows 10 since I currently have Windows 7 loaded.

I am looking to buy a new MB, CPU, Case, RAM and monitor (total under $700). What say you all?

Don't keep the 300 GB hdds. You can get a 2TB hard drive for $50-$60.

Apparently AMD is launching their Ryzen 3xxx series CPUs at CES in January. I'm interested in seeing how they perform.

Rumor is they will also launch new gpus this year as well that will compete with a 2070/1080. Supposedly price will be about 250-300 for the 3080. They supposedly will have a 3060 that will be in the neighborhood of an RX 570 for around 129.99 according to videos I saw on YouTube. I'm interested to see if those are true rumors.

If there is $50 left over then I will switch to a 2 Terabyte drive. I'm not sure if I want to wait for the newer processors that will be more expensive. I was hoping to put a build together over my Christmas break though it depends on if I can focus in on what I should get.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when looking for a new GPU!
