Upgrading GPU

[codecloser]

I am currently running a GTX 970 and I am considering upgrading to a 2070 Super.

The 970 runs the games I play fine but I want to upgrade to a 27inch 1440p 144hz Monitor (LG 27GL850-B) and the 970 cant really handle that from why i read.

I had considered a 2080 Ti but I don't really think its needed as its more than double the price of the 2070 Super and iam not sure its worth it for the games I play.

 

What I am concerned with is that my CPU might bottleneck the GPU and if I need to upgrade my board and CPU as well. 

My Current Setup is:
CPU: i5 6600k 3.5ghz
Board: Asus Maximus VIII Hero
RAM: 16GB HyperX FURY DDR4-2666 

 

As far as budget is concerned I don't really want to have to spend more than ~1.2k if I have to upgrade the cpu / motherboard / ram as well in addition to the 2070 Super which costs 570 Euro where I live.

 

What do you guys think, will I have to upgrade the cpu / board or should the gpu work fine with this setup?

you can opt for a 5700xt , or wait for the new nvida ampere GPUs

I would wait for RTX 3000, what games do you play, the 6600k is a bit lacking in threads, if you want you coul upgrade to a 7700k or 6700k, that have double the thread count

What FPS are you currenlty getting. The CPU performance is almost independent from the resolution. So if uou can hit your target framerates (144+) by turning settings down you will be fine with a faster GPU. I definitely try and squeeze a good OC out of the 6600k. I also thing a 2070 should still be fine in combination with a 6600k. In CPU heavey games mayby not in the picture, it should be.

Iam usually getting about 50 to 60 fps in games like Path of Exile and WoW. I really haven't checked how much it is taxing my cpu.

 

I was considering waiting for the next gen nvidia cpus but dont they usually bring out the top model like a 3080 first and something like a 3070 comes quite a bit later?
I wanted to upgrade within the next few month, the sooner the better
