is it worth upgrading?

[Jedibrysen]

In the future im looking at selling my 2080 gaming x trio and getting a 3080 Strix OC is it worth it for 240hz in games like MW, Destiny 2, Fortnite, R6 and Doom? like i dont think selling my 2080 for 400-500 and getting a 3080 for 850 is worth it. Im also looking to upgrade my 9700k and crap z390 asrock board. and either going with a 5900x, b550 or 11700k, z590 (once out) but in 2020 these parts are still insane and i dont think i really need to upgrade what are your guys thoughts? im just looking for diverse opinions! Thanks

doesnt seem like a huge enough jump to justify the cost in my opinion

Why are you looking to upgrade, though

 

Does your PC not satisfy your needs?

Or it's a "I want to" thing

Well... Sure if you think spending money to do that is great

 

Personally my philosophy is upgrade when you need it, not when you want it

To find out what to upgrade, find the limiting factor for the games you play and upgrade those, when you feel like you're not satisfied with the result

 

Upgrade to flex is kind of... ehh

There's always someone with a better computer

Eeh it happens to the best of us

Urge to upgrade is real, but if you think about whether you need it or not, more often than not the answer is no

 

I'm not one to speak since I spend good money on hardwares

I want to call you spoiled, but I have r7 3800x/ 2060 super

And when I built a r5 5600x / 3070 for someone else, I almost cried what you need or not, mostly depends on the money you have and secondly on the needs that you need to cover, sadly.

I have seen many 3000$ iMacs doing office work (if not the most of them)

Well I pay for everything myself and since they don’t teach how to manage money I gotta learn on my own lol

If it's working fine for you now, then keep what you have until it no longer does what you want.
