Gotta give em the benefit of the doubt, not everyone gets it. There was a user incredulous that a $50 budget for a CPU to go with a 2080 ti was unreasonable.

 

Bad upgrade, i3 + 2080 = awful

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I think you should upgrade the cpu first. I know i'm a hypocrite since I have a i5 4690k and rtx 2070, but at least when I upgraded the gpu, my old gpu wasn't bottlenecking(gtx 970) and saw good peformance gains.

 

The i3 in your pc however is already bottlenecking the 780 ti, so you won't see any gains. I would go to a i5 8th gen series or ryzen 5 at the least if you are planning on getting a 2080

Damn....

Maybe get yourself a Ryzen CPU like the 2600. Make a pcpartpicker list real quick.
