First I just want to say high to all here! Didn't realize there was a forum till I heard linus say it lol. I hope my first post doesn't ruffle to many feathers as it's more opinion based than anything. I'm looking for upgrade paths on my current build, I mostly only do vr anymore and currently use a rift s but will be moving to a primax 5k soon. The only real reasons for me to upgrade that I can see are, one I'm sort of an enthusiast, and two I have a friend that wants me to build him a budgetish 1440p gaming rig. In the last year I've seen the tech moving at a huge pace and it seems about time for me to build something new as my system has a bit over two years on it now. So question is what would you guys go with? I'm planning on keeping my mobo and maybe my 1080ti as it seems only a small upgrade to go 2080ti, and I have another founder's edition 1080 I could use in the upcoming build. Im thinking a 9700k and possibly 2080ti? Or scrap it all and go team red? Thanks for any input!
Specs are as follows:
Asus z370 strix
8700k (clocked at 4.9)
EVGA 1080ti ftw sc2 hybrid (liquid cooled)
Corsair 2x8gb 3200
EVGA GQ gold 1000w power supply
Samsung evo 970 250+500gb nvme
Wd blue 2tb ssd
Corsair h115i cooler
Probably missed something...
Just looked at your personal build and damn if it isn't nearly identical to my build lol. I was running a 5.2 oc on my 8700k (it is delid and liquid metal) but just couldn't keep it under 80c after some long gaming sessions.
