I've been recently thinking about upgrading and like to see if my specs now are good for modern AAA games. They are obviously here you just can't see them because your monitors suck. :)

Assuming the parts list on your profile is the one you mean, no it's terrible. Get an i7 2600K or 3770k, overclock like crazy, throw a GTX 1070 in there, and you're much better off.

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

A Ryzen 3 is a good start, of course going from 4 cores to 4 newer cores isn't amazing for a performance uplift. The ryzen 5 2600 is not that expensive, what kind of budget would you have for an upgrade?

With the stock cooler OP probably has? You can't overclock by 200MHz before hitting the thermal wall with that thing.

 

What about the board?

Cheap tower coolers off eBay are viable

I don't 100 percent always trust ebay, as i've gotten faulty hardware from it.

I'm not sure, I've just been thinking. I could also get a new cpu cooler. I'd say around 700-800 dollars for my budget.

I'll respond later. This is completely out of context so you know.

Maybe.

Last week I installed a $15 cooler on top of a 4770K and it amazed me to see how temps dropped by 20C vs stock.

Yes.

I left a lot of room for your needs, are you targeting high refresh rate Gaming? If so, get the ryzen 5 3600. Need some 1440p capable hardware? You can get a power supply upgrade (if you don't already have a decent one) and a 5700 XT

It's underclock. Could you check the bios to see your multiplier for your cpu

A 2080 basically your whole budget. Given that the CPU is not gonna stack up in modern titles, blowing the whole budget on a graphics card is not a good strategy.

300 dollars for the nvidia name then 100 dollar shipping

You have a Sandy Bridge system. Upgrade to a DDR4 system (eg a Ryzen system), or just sit and wait a while more for DDR5. That's the only problem when upgrading from a DDR3 system, is you have to replace the CPU, RAM a Motherboard as a single unit, and thus a $800 budget might require you to compromise on one of those options.

 

For reference. RAM typically has to be purchased from the same production line to ensure the best compatibility and reliability. So if you can't afford the amount of RAM you want right now, make sure that you are comfortable throwing out what you buy now.
