Im planning in buying a 5700xt when the AIB models are released, but have no plans in upgrading my cpu (R5 2600). Im not the kind of person who plays on 1080p lowest settings for the sake of dem frames, so i think that will help me here. If im playing 1440p max settings, will it be worth upgrading my cpu? I was planning on waiting til 4th gen ryzen is releases before upgrading or even until the 5th gen that leaves AM4 behind. If the performance benefits are decent though (in the realm of 10% or so), then i may consider an upgrade for my cpu as well. I have 16gb of 3200mhz CL16 ram as i know ryzen likes fast ram.

what GPU have you currently got?

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

At 1440p max settings it likely wont make a huge difference to upgrade your CPU. I would just get the new GPU and call it good for now.

Your CPU can handle a lot more GPU horsepower for sure.
