Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to gaming PC building, and I want to either build a new PC from scratch, or totally upgrade my current build to be able to run the latest games at 1440p (144Hz) at decent frames.
It's worth noting I don't need to consider productivity at all as I have a Mac for any other needs I have (such as music production and video editing).
My current build is:
1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Graphics Card
1x Aerocool 80 PLUS 500W PSU
1x Asus PRIME B250M-A Motherboard
2x 4 GB DDR4 2133 MHz Memory
1x Seagate 1TB BarraCuda 7200RPM Hard Disk
1x 250GB Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive
1x Intel Pentium G4560 Kaby Lake CPU, 2 Cores, 3.5GHz
I'm considering buying either an RTX 2070 Super (£489) and an intel i5 9600k (£200) as a new build PC, or an i5 7600k (£150) and a 2060 super (£379) as an upgrade to my current build.
Are both of these options going to be powerful enough to run say games like Shadow of the Tomb raider, Star Wars Jedi:Fallen order and Cyberpunk 2077 at 60+ frames at 1440p (144HZ)?
Also, I haven't really considered AMD CPU's at this point, can a case be made for AMD?
