[SOLVED] Which upgrade next ?

[JasonNs_]

So I've a i5 9400f, GTX 1660 OC (Almost getting TI performance) , 16 gigs of ram, EVGA BQ 650w and Deepcool matrexx v55 mesh, what should I upgrade next ?

 

[boju]

It's a pretty well balanced system. Do you feel it lacking?

What's your OS & games storage situation?

Beyond maybe improving system with or larger SSD's if using HDD's, there's not much else besides a processor upgrade ie, (9700/9700k~9900/9900k).

Maybe a higher Hz monitor with Freesync/Gsync?

Not lacking, just asking what to upgrade in future, ive windows 10 and i do play CSGO, gta v and sometimes fortnite, ive 120gb ssd and a 500gb HDD which is more than enough for me,i already have 144hz monitor with freesync [Acer KG241]

I would suggest a larger capacity SSD. 120gb is really not enough these days, as you do not want to run an SSD near max capacity. I would run one, just for games storage.

not a clue. If you're not needing a better one why waste , money? plus without a budget you can't recommend anything

Do you think RTX 2000 cards prices will drop ?

Wouldn't bother upgrading to a more powerful graphics card unless, A; use a higher resolution monitor or B; upgrade cpu first. Currently, any i5 (pre 10th series) suffers too high cpu usage trying to achieve higher frame rates. Sorry to be blunt.

If really want to sink some coin for the future, go for a z490 and 10600K/10700k, a processor with Hyperthreading. Intel have moved away from HT'less cpus and for good reason (about time).

Probably but at that point the 3000 will be available so why not get a 3000 series card
