Upgrade odeas

My current build:

Gigabyte aorus pro b450 mobo

R5 2600x

32gb 3200mhz ram

Zotac amp extreme 1070ti

Kingston SSD

10tb ironwolf pro.

 

I am writing this post as I currently have a budget of £700 and I can't decide on what I should do to upgrade. Should I wait and buy the Ryzen 9 when released or should I stick with my current CPU and upgrade the GPU to either a 1080ti and motherboard or go with the RTX2080. Or would getting an x470 board and a second 1070ti be a viable option also.

I'd get a new GPU, personally.

 

Amp! and Amp! Extreme cards have a history of bad VRM cooling, and finding full-cover waterblocks for big cards like that is pretty tough.

It's a design problem, the heatsink just isn't that good for cooling the VRMs.
