upgrade 2060 or a 2070

[samerkia]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Fj7bX - This is my current rig atm, I built maybe 2ish years ago when crypto mining was super big so I spent more for my GPU then I should have.

 

Anyways I want to upgrade my pc, it runs most of the games I play pretty smoothly but I am thinking that pretty soon I will need to upgrade my GPU but if I want to do that I need to upgrade my CPU (To avoid bottlenecking) however my motherboard can only support 4 cores so unless I want to do a complete system rebuild, which I might do but I will need to wait a while longer before I do that, I need to stick to a 4 core CPU.

Anyways my question is, should I get a 2060 or a 2070, and what CPU should I get, or should I just upgrade my pc entirely.

Also, the 2060 has 6gb of memory and the 2070 has 8gb of memory and I was wondering if that would make that much of a difference.

it really depends on how much you will want to spend on this upgrade.

an I5-7500.. I think you might still be able to get some juice out of it. But with a 2060 or 2070, you will definitely experience bottlenecking.
It seems like your current build was built based for budget gaming?

Yea, I did build it for budget gaming

So are you still on budget gaming now?

A bit I would be willing to do $700 to $800 for just an upgrade (Obviously if I could get it cheaper that would be nice)

For a full system rebuild, I could go up to $1200-$1500

For a full system rebuild, I will advise for you to wait out till the new processors are out. 2060/2070 depends on the games you play also.

Ok, thank you for your help.

what resolution are you shooting for is the real question my 6500 is usually only good for 100-110 fps max realistically no matter the resolution. I have a  similar specs and I 75Hz game mostly max settings  or med settings 4k 60.

I play on 1080p with a 144Hz monitor

I can never get over 100-110 "stable" frames and cpu is max even if I drop resolution or lower settings. its why I usually game at 1080 75Hz high/ultra or 4k 60 medium settings since even a good 1050ti isn't up for any real 4k gaming it runs out of ram and power sadly . im in the same boat as you thinking about upgrades and the one I keep coming to is the cpu and a 6700 isn't cheap neither is a 7700 and I keep seeing its not worth it and a new build would make more sense with it basically being a mobo and cpu. personally I might go upcoming ryzen 5 if I do a new build unless intel does something amazing between now and then.

Yea, I 100% agree.
