Yeah, in terms of CPU you won't be seeing the difference by getting any 6th gen HEDT CPUs. You can go up to 10 cores, albeit with an extreme price tag, so it's hardly worth it. I suggest, if you need more CPU performance, you consider Ryzen.

 

As for graphics card, just toss a 2080 ti in this thing and call it a day. Although

The old green label CX units aren't so great, being based on a much older and obsolete platform. You should also consider an upgrade here too, and check out our PSU tier list by clicking the PSU in my signature below
