Welp to those that helped, I did it. Complete upgrade except for case, ssd, and hdd. Specs: i7-9700k @ 3.8GHz 32GB 3200MHz Ram, Corsair Vengence Pro RGB MSI (LGA 1151 300 series) MAGZ390 Tomahawk MSI RTX 2080 Duke Corsair H100i CPU Cooler Its a dream!

Hello, I just upgraded my GPU from a MSI GTX-760 SLI to a 8GB MSI Duke RTX 2080 in my current build. Back in 2014, I built my dream computer when I was 15yo (build details below) and everything was great until one of my 760's died and killed the performance in today's games. So, I decided to upgrade my GPU to the 2080, even knowing that a bottleneck would occur. To cope with the bottleneck and unexpected shutdowns, I added more RGB fans hoping this would solve the problem, sadly frames only increased slightly and the shutdowns have continued. So my fellow Glorious PC Gaming Master Race Gods, Is it better to upgrade my current CPU from my Intel i5-4670k to a i7-4790k to reduce bottleneck in 2019 ($500-600 upgrade)? Or should I go with a new AMD Ryzen 2700x build (Budget $1,000. Motherboard, Processor, RAM upgrade)? I am a NVIDIA, MSI, and Corsair Fanboy, change my mind. I would love for Linus and the LTT group to make a video on this topic. Thank you in advance to the community for your generous replies. My current build is as follows with planned upgrades in bold should the i7 4790K not be a good option (Current settings generated with Speccy): Operating System (Future Upgrade to Win 10 Pro) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU (Future Upgrade to AMD 2700x) Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz 29 °C Haswell 22nm Technology RAM (Patriot Viper) (Future Upgrade to 64GB DDR4 G.Skill Trident Z Royal, 3200MHz) 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard (Future Upgrade to MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon) MSI Z87-G45 GAMING (MS-7821) (SOCKET 0 Graphics 8GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (MSI DUKE) Advanced Marks: CPU Intel Core i5 4670K Cores 4 Threads 4 Name Intel Core i5 4670K Code Name Haswell Package Socket 1150 LGA Technology 22nm Specification Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz Family 6 Extended Family 6 Model C Extended Model 3C Stepping 3 Revision C0 Instructions MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, Intel 64, NX, VMX, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3 Virtualization Supported, Enabled Hyperthreading Not supported Fan Speed 1508 RPM Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Stock Core Speed 3400 MHz Stock Bus Speed 100 MHz Average Temperature 29 °C Caches L1 Data Cache Size 4 x 32 KBytes L1 Instructions Cache Size 4 x 32 KBytes L2 Unified Cache Size 4 x 256 KBytes L3 Unified Cache Size 6144 KBytes Cores Core 0 Core Speed 3600.4 MHz Multiplier x 36.0 Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Temperature 31 °C Threads APIC ID: 0 Core 1 Core Speed 3600.4 MHz Multiplier x 36.0 Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Temperature 27 °C Threads APIC ID: 2 Core 2 Core Speed 3600.4 MHz Multiplier x 36.0 Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Temperature 32 °C Threads APIC ID: 4 Core 3 Core Speed 3600.4 MHz Multiplier x 36.0 Bus Speed 100.0 MHz Temperature 27 °C Threads APIC ID: 6 RAM Memory slots Total memory slots 4 Used memory slots 4 Free memory slots 0 Memory Type DDR3 Size 16384 MBytes Channels # Dual DRAM Frequency 800.1 MHz CAS# Latency (CL) 9 clocks RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 9 clocks RAS# Precharge (tRP) 9 clocks Cycle Time (tRAS) 24 clocks Command Rate (CR) 2T Physical Memory Memory Usage 43 % Total Physical 16 GB Available Physical 9.00 GB Total Virtual 32 GB Available Virtual 23 GB SPD Number Of SPD Modules 4 Slot #1 Type DDR3 Size 4096 MBytes Manufacturer Patriot Memory Max Bandwidth PC3-12800H (800 MHz) Part Number 2133 CL11 Series SPD Ext.
