Budget (including currency): Up to $1500 if it turns out I need a whole new system but I'm flexible. USD.
Country: USA
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Overwatch 2 and at some point VR games too. I'd also like to be able to stream.
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
Hey all! I'm looking to upgrade my system that I built almost a decade ago! I haven't been tuned into the tech world in a while and I'm really only planning on playing/streaming OW2 so I don't really know how much juice I'll actually need and how much is overkill. I've been wanting to upgrade for years now but GPU prices have just been too high.
I've got a 4790k, 16gb of ram, a 970, and a 650w PSU already. I'd imagine I'll only need a new GPU but if I need an overhaul, I'm willing to build a whole new PC. I have 3 monitors but the main monitor is 1920x1080, 240hz. I'd like to stay pinned at 240fps but I don't need the settings maxed out (though, that'd be a nice bonus lol).
As for time scale, I'd like to turn around and buy everything asap but I still run at about 150fps so if I should wait a little, I can do that. I've got $1000 already and I can set aside about $150 a week if I need to.
TLDR, I want to be able to play/stream OW2 at 1920x1080 at 240fps. I'm looking to upgrade but can also just build a new PC from scratch.
Thanks so much!
