Hi All, 

I own twin PC's and have 2 MSI RTX 3080s on the way. The only problem is I think I will be under utilizing the cards. My current build is:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition

MOBO: ASUS 970 PRO GAMING

MEMORY: 32GB HyperX DDR3 1666mhz

GPU: ASUS GTX 1060 6GB OC Edition

PSU: Rosewill 850w Gold Fully Modular

any other pieces I can definitely add just ask which pieces. The reason for the RTX 3080s is that my GPU in my machine is taking a dump. I am trying to figure out what to do before going full build around the cards. Please shed any advice or give links to where I could possibly get better hardware at a lower cost. The cards I got for Retail, but the cost hurt pretty bad after tax. Please and thank you!!

You're going to want to completely rid of your current platform and opt for something more modern.

8350 won't be doing you any good in 2020 with a 3080

Will they not play well together at all or will it at the very least be a better upgrade than my GTX 1060?

It'll work, just you'll be bottlenecked quite heavily
