So a few months back, I cobbled together a gaming PC from mostly used parts. I'm running a 4670k @ 4.8 ghz, GTX 780, 16gb corsair vengeance ddr3, Z87c asus motherboard, ssd, 650w corsair psu.
I'm now in a position (better job) to begin to gradually upgrade. I mostly game, playing a variety of titles like Football Manager, WoW, RDR2, Witcher 3, modded Skyrim etc. While in older games I can get mostly high settings @ 1080p 60fps, I start to struggle in modern games, reducing the detail to Medium or lower.
My eventual aim is to play on an ultrawide 3440 x 1440 monitor on ultra, preferably with as high framerate as possible.
I'm looking for advice on an upgrade path, most likely beginning with the motherboard, RAM and cpu. My budget isn't crazy high and like all of us would like to spend as little as possible. That said, I'm looking at the higher end of things, perhaps a 3700x or 9700k build, with a 2070 or radeon equivalent.
Is that too little for what I want to achieve? Is it overkill? Will I need to upgrade the PSU? Let me know what you think and if you need any more info below.
Many thanks in advance!
