Howdy everyone, I am lost in between choosing to upgrade between a CPU and a new GPU. Right now my computer specs are a i5-4690k(overclock at 4.0 GHz). 24 GB of ram(top speed of DDR3), and a GTX 970. And a LG 1440p 32" monitor.
I am looking at upgrading to a RTX 3080 upon its release next week as currently this year I have 800 or so to spend on a system upgrade. I will be upgrading the next component next January, 2021. And will have between 800-1000 to spend on either a graphic card or a motherboard/CPU/Ram. I know there will probably be a GPU shortage but I have no idea what the availability will be here come January. And I believe the CPU's will be fine come January. I just don't know if I will be able to play games such as Assassin Creed/Cyberpunk 2077/ and some other games on Ultra 1440p @ 60 FPS. I know that after I upgrade by CPU and such I can aim for a higher FPS. How bad do you guys think the bottleneck would be for something like this. I have not dealt with only upgrading 1 component at a time.
So I am wondering what you guys think I should do? Should I buy the RTX 3080 and later upgrade to a new CPU come January or should I buy a new CPU looking at a i7-10600k or i7-10700k. Also, before I forget, if a new stimulus check comes out as I live in the US it would also be used for a computer upgrade.
