My wife's PC which is my previous gaming rig (stripped of a couple components) is about 8 years old and is about to need replacement. My PC is almost 4 years old and I've typically used the opportunity to upgrade my gaming rig and give her the leftovers as she primarily uses it to work from home, web browse, java type games, etc. I have my current rig listed below and I want to see if you think enough has happened in the last 4 years to make it worth upgrading or if it's better to spend $600-800 and just build her a new PC. My only hesitation there is the 2x980ti SLI in my current rig feel a bit slow already in the newest games and I would have nothing to do with my old pc in 1-2 years when I really felt I must upgrade. So trying to make the best choice with my hands forced.
Here's what I'm running:
-Intel 6700k O/C'd a bit to 4.3Ghz
-2xMSI GTX 980TI 6GB OC Edition in SLI
-Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Mobo
-4x16GB=64GB DDR4 3200Mhz G.Skill Ripjaws V Series (Honestly don't know why I have 64GB of RAM I could probably pull 32GB of it to run new machine and save some cash if it's still good with a Z390 Mobo, it was just super cheap at the time)
-EVGA 80+ Platinum 850w PSU
-2TB Samsung 860 Evo SATA SSD
I've been a little disappointed in SLI and run 2x4K 60hz monitors I've had to work the settings down in, but don't feel it's a must upgrade.
Is there enough big stuff coming soon I should upgrade in 1-2 years when I originally planned and just put together a decent new PC for hers? (Maybe $800?)
Or should I put something together with a 2070 Super and 9700k or similar and would see big improvement now? I don't want to spend a ton of money on this new build and really not see a big return. I think I could sell the 2 980ti's and probably get close to $500 for the pair to help.
Hopefully that wasn't too confusing, thanks in advance for the advice.
