Ok, not aware of the specific prices there but I know GPUs are a bit pricier than here in the states, so if you wanted to avoid breaking the bank, RX 580 8GB/GTX 1060 6GB are also viable budget 1440p options, for your consideration.

What performance standard of yours does it not meet? What games have lacking experiences?

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

Your build is still pretty solid.

An RTX 2060 will be cool with your setup!

i think its laggy even in simple games

Is your CPU overclocked? A good upgrade would be something like an RX 570 or anything better, what's your performance target? 1080p 60fps? 1080p 144fps? 1440p?

 

New graphics cards will come from AMD soon, if you can't wait then check out eBay stuff for good deals on cards like GTX 1070s or something.

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

my target, for now, is either 1440p or 4k if possible with the same rig mostly for watching light gaming

upgrade gpu and 2 monitors, limited choices due to location

Not sure what your location is so I can't give exact advice, but the RTX 2060 is a good value 1440p card, or the RX Vega 56 in its place.

did I read correctly, watch light gaming...?

7600k, it is actually quite intensive for cpu playing youtube @ 4k

overclocking might help a bit.

sadly upgrade path is dead, i7 is too expensive, not worth it.
