wait until like Jan-Feb cause that's when prices will start to drop

Posted

Budget (including currency): £1200

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA titles, 2019-2020, Cyberpunk, 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): 

Resolution: 1080p, but 1440p would be nice ;)

I'm going to buy the listed parts* by Christmas.

 

Current setup (Old rig from 2013)

i7-3970X, 4.2GHz

Sabertooth X79

64GB RAM DDR3 1600MHz

GTX 780Ti SLI (Palit super jetstream 6gb)

Corsair RM650 (Old one failed, so I copped a new PSU.)

--I do have a spare GTX 1070 laying around, But it would bottle neck my current CPU at 1440p.

 

I am not sure about the GPU though, any recommendations? In the UK, the prices are very high due to COVID, So I need something reasonable.

Should I use my existing PSU, or would it not be enough for my parts?

And would it be able to play AAA games at 1440p with reasonable frame rates?
