Hello, few months back I bought MSI GTX2070 Armor and now got the funds to go for a new CPU/Mobo which are now 10 years old, bought them at the end of 2009. They are still going strong, but I think it is time to move on and get the new tech.
Build I'm running atm:
GPU - GTX2070
CPU - i7 920 ~3.8ghz
Mobo - Asus P6T Deluxe v2
RAM - 8GB Corsair Vengeance (need more RAM these days?)
PSU - Corsair AX850 (it is 9 year old, time to replace?)
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro
HDD: Seagate disks
I will be using it for gaming only really. Not going to stream or anything.
I'm looking for something to last me as long as i7 920 did. And easier to overclock, doing it with an online tutorial was not fun and I was scared I'd blow <Mod Edit> out. Also please recommend cooler for my "new" CPU.
I suppose I should go for 16GB RAM as well?
I am also wondering about new PSU, my current one will be running for a 9th year now and my question is if I should replace it for safety?
Thank you very much in advance for all the responses and help.
