Thanks guys, really appreciated. I think I will heed your advice on updating my cpu to a 4770k or 4790k (also in UK) and save money whilst waiting for a future gpu upgrade - having looked into it a bit I think this is probably best anyway considering the expected nvidia Ampere planned to come out first half of next year. Thanks again for the help!

I'm looking to upgrade my gpu, as I got a new 1440p/144Hz monitor earlier in the year and want to get the most of it, however am somewhat worried of possible bottlenecking. I'm looking at getting either an gtx 2070 super or potentially a 2080 super. Issue may be my i5-4670K cpu, although not sure if it will be a problem for now? My current build specs are as follows: CPU: i5-4670K Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 Current GPU: MSI RX 480 PSU: Corsair CX 500W Monitor: Asus MG279Q ROG Dominator 27" 1440p 144Hz Planned gpu upgrade: GTX 2070 super or 2080 super I use my rig for gaming (gta v, rocket league, tomb raider, battlefield) as well as for a lot of 3D modelling work / rendering / production work, using Cinema 4D (planning to use Octane render once I get a nvidia card), Rhino, Maxwell render, Photoshop, etc. I realise that if I upgrade my cpu I would likely have to upgrade my motherboard, and possibly my ram as well, by which point I wouldn't really be able to afford a new gpu which is the main point of the upgrade for use with the monitor. Let me know your thoughts on whether getting a 2080 super (or 2070 super) would be fine with my build, or if you have advice for how to better upgrade. I usually prefer to upgrade one element at a time, rather than upgrading several pieces with lower performance, but open to comments. Thanks
