Upgrading mid-range 2013 gaming computer

[Swokor]

Hi,

 

Back in 2013, I used my first 'real' salary to build my first gaming computer. Nowadays, I moved overseas (from France originally) and my computer is now taking dust since the past 4 years back at my parents place.

 

I might get back my old computer soon and would like to be able to play at least somewhat recent triple A games @1080p/100 FPS (or CS:GO at 300fp ).

 

This is what I have (price in euros of the original components, for reference if anyone is curious):

• Motherboard: MSI H87-G43
  • 96.65
• CPU: Intel Core i5 4670 --> updated to i7 4790
  • 209.99
• CPU cooler: Silverstone Argon AR01
  • 20.66
• GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC TF - 2 Go
  • 254.99
• RAM G.Skill Extreme3 Ripjaws X DDR3 2 x 4 Go 2133 MHz CAS 11 --> additional 2x4GB DDR3 @2133Mhz RAM
  • 66.29
• SSD: Crucial M500 - 120 Go
  • 94.99
• HDD: Western Digital (WD) WD Black 3,5" - SATA III 6 Gb/s - 1 To (Caviar)
  • 79.69
• Case / Power supply: Cooler Master Silencio + GX 550W
  • 109.95
• Monitor Screen: Asus VG248QE
  • 329.99
• DVD player: LG GH24NS - OEM
  • 29.93
• Sound card: Asus Xonar DGX
  • 27.49

Total of 1320.62 euros (rate 1.33 back in 2013 so ~1757 USD?).

 

I recently manged to get a second hand i7-4790 (65 euros) and additional 8GB DDR3 @2133Mhz RAM (33 euros). So I only have to invest in a better GPU now.

 

I was looking at 1660 SUPER/TI, RTX 2060, 1070 TI, 1080 TI... but not sure if it's overkill (or not) and if my CPU will "bottleneck" any high-end GPU (like 1080 TI). Also I'm not aware at all about what AMD can offer for full HD gaming.

 

I'm not in a hurry and don't mind buying second hand. So basically, I'm open to any suggestion, even the most crazy on like "wait 10 more years and buy RTX 2080 TI second-hand for a fair price"

 

Thanks!
