Hey guys I was looking for some advice on upgrading my gpu.....

Nzxt h500

Aorus b450 elite

ryzen 5 2600

16gb Corsair ddr4 3000mhz

msi GTX 980

500w psu

500gb ssd

1tb hdd

1080p 144hz monitor

You would be looking at anything RTX 2070 or up for consistent 144Hz at high/max details

500w psu

What's the make and model?

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

Is 2070 good and consistent enough and it is worth it from high performing 980

 

the PSU is a cm master watt lite 500w should I upgrade this as well.... I was thinking about it what high end psu would I recommend

The Corsair RMX series is pretty great

it's a lot of wattage... you only need 650 at best

 

but if it's for a really good price, i won't stop you. all it can hurt is your wallet

"Sale" probably still costs 130$.

650 is more than sufficient for single gpu setups...

hard to say much without knowing the budget, but your bottleneck in frame rates in AAA games is the CPU. Maybe 3rd gen will do better, but for now Ryzen is good for around 100fps in AAA games at the best of times.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1
