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):
Basically I have a build concept and PC part list in mind already, but with the new hype surrounding the RTX 3000 line and the new ZEN 3 that may or may not both come out this year is it worth to wait for it? I have an alienware 17r4 i got back in 2016 with some discounts (i7-6700, gtx 1070, 32 gb of ram). It's showing its age lately. Borderlands 3 runs at medium settings but lags sometimes. Lately its been freezing (the system), either with or without processes running in the background. Other times, I've closed it just to have the system freeze about a minute later just looking at amazon on firefox. This is all new to this computer as it wasn't doing it this past week. What I'm trying to avoid is having another 2016 where I bought a 970 just for the 1070 to release in just a few months time, but at the same time its starting to push me toward just building the system already with a 2080ti and a 3900x and getting it over with already. I've pushed this desire back from January of this year to now and waiting longer is starting to get harder idk.
