Hello, I would like to increase the performance of my pc. My budget is 400USD. Here is my current configuration.

 

-Xeon E5 2690

-32 GB de Ram,

-GTX 1070 8 Gb, Evga SC

-Power Supply Lenovo Gold  620 Watt

 

What are my options knowing that I game in 1440p with games like Anno 1800 and assassin's creed odyssey.

 

Many thanks.

My call would be to wait for a bit more budget to get on a more modern platform.

 

Anno, Assassin's creed ect, even though they are well optimized to multi-threading, aren't still just video renders, and in maybe an other 100$, you could transition to a Zen2 motherboard for a Ryzen 3xxx or next-gen 4xxxx CPU, with more throughput per core and the same amount of threads, and same amount of ram.

Imo a good investment since you're already almost maxed out your actual platform.

 

Keep in mind also that xeon cpus and motherboards, and compatible ram still retained interrest and a bit of value on the used market, so it wouldn't be a net 500$ expense either.

 

Or yes, a new GPU, but might be kinda bottlenecked depending of the game.
