I built this PC five years ago, the one listed in SophieBeth100's first reply in this thread:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1736449/gaming-build-advice-1400ish-budget.html
Last year, feeling the age of the video card, I upgraded to a 1080ti. Now, based on some quick research, I believe I'm starting to be badly CPU bound in newer games (I get 43 fps in "AC: Odyssey" on Very High settings regardless of the resolution I pick.).
Can someone suggest a good motherboard/CPU combination (and I'm assuming I'll need new RAM as well) I can upgrade to that would let me keep the majority of the other components, and knowing that I have the 1080ti already? I'm looking to upgrade the display to a 4k/hdr TV later this fall if that matters for anything.
Price-wise, I don't want to go "ultimate, top-of-the-line" but I don't want "barely-an-upgrade" either. Getting another 3 - 5 years out of it would be nice though.
Thanks!
