Hey guys, had an old account on here but wanted to change usernames. Anyway, I am looking to plan out an upgrade path and always enjoy talking to other people about it.
Current rig:
AMD FX 8320 with Asus Crosshair V formula z
GTX 780 SLI
2x860 EVO 250gb
H100i V2
16gb gddr3
800W EVGA gold power supply
Planned Upgrades:
Ryzen 7 1700
Asus Crosshair VI hero
16gb GDDR4
GTX 1080ti
Acer x34 or ASUS ROG PG348Q or ASUS ROG PG27AQ
My problem is that I will not be performing this upgrade in a single go. I will be doing it in 3 stages with a period of 2-3 months between stages. Right now I am leaning to going with the Ryzen upgrade first, followed by monitor and GPU upgrade. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? Also what is your opinion on the 3 monitors? Part of me wants to maybe wait for Volta since the current architecture is over year old but that is looking like a 9 month wait at the moment....do you all think I could drive the 1440 panels with the current sli config as a stop gap?
