This is my current PC build from a few years back: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/Bdbgjy

I mostly use the PC for gaming and youtube/netflix. i wanna be able to play the upcoming metro exodus and anthem at decent settings and with this upgrade i wouldn't need to upgrade for atleast a few years. Im currently looking at getting the i5 8600k and the rtx 2060. What are your recommendations?

My budget for upgrading is $1200.

Thanks in advance

an i7 and a 1080 would be awesome

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
