Pi 3 Upgrade

[TH38DM7]

Budget (including currency): $1800 AUD

 

Country: Australia

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Mostly games like Dayz, Minecraft, and maybe some racing titles. Potential use as development pc running virtual machines etc.

 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

No existing parts are to be used besides peripherals and maybe some external storage.

I plan to buy and run a 1440p 144hz monitor at a later stage.

I plan to purchase withinin the next week or so.

I currently use a Rasberry pi 3 for my day to day pc needs and game on Xbox oneX

Well first off, do not buy the GPU since the new cards were just announced and the 3070 is a pretty good deal on paper.

I'd change the PSU to a better unit. Take a look at the PSU Tier List. It should help you.

3070 won't fit the Budget, but maybe three will be a 3060 within Budget.

Thanks koptr I kinda knew the GPU wasn't right, problem is I cant really find anything within budget that does make sense right now it seems that now is just the wrong time to buy GPU but I am also impatient little prick and also I feel waiting for the "Right Time" to buy a GPU  will leave me with a similar predicament with the CPU or something else, its driving me nuts. I am also watching all sorts of electronic items run out of stock here.  PSU I will look into again too, surely 650 watts is enough though isnt it ? you just think I should get a better quality unit correct ?
