Hey guys I want to upgrade my rig and was wondering what you think. This is my current and is pretty dated at this point:
I was considering dropping in a 2070 or 2070 super if I can find one used for $200 give or take, and upgrading my SSD to a fast 2TB that I could use on future builds. I chose this card because based on this bottleneck website I found:
https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/0Fn14o/3/graphic-card-intense-tasks/1920x1080/)
That’s about the highest I can go without running into a cpu bottleneck, can anyone confirm or deny this?
Also how is the used GPU market? I’ve never attempted to try before and am kind of leary to do so…
Anyways, down the line I’d really like to pump out a few grand for a 4K high FPS gaming build for single player AAA titles. I’m not really competitive, but the 4K oled monitor scene right now doesn’t seem like it’s ready yet so I’m holding off on spending thousands to do that just yet. (I love my LGC2 77” for ps5 and would be so happy to get a similar experience on PC)
On another note, if that GPU and SSD upgrade seems like a terrible idea, and doing an entire overhaul sounds more ideal in the short term, what would you guys suggest? Would I need to upgrade my monitor as well?
I’ve built 2 PCs before and don’t really know much, but have been watching tons of PCBuilder on YouTube and trying to increase my knowledge base before making a mega build purchase. Im really excited to learn and any info or recommendations you guys have doesn’t go unappreciated!
THANKS!
