I have a i5-3470, GTX 1060 3GB, 16GB DDR3-1333Mhz RAM, Samsung 860 Evo 500GB.

 

I play Fortnite, Hitman 2, Own Watch Dogs: Legion but can't play it. (btw watch dogs 2 - 10/10)

 

I want to try Control and Hitman 3. I also want to try Ray Tracing. I am aiming for 1440p@144Hz. I will reply asap with the PCPartPicker list that I am thinking about.

from your current specs you definitely need an upgrade to achieve this

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

If that is your target, that's a definite yes and you'll find a large improvement from upgrading the CPU & GPU however, It'll be hard to find a better GPU and you're kinda stuck right now.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

I know I have to upgrade for that

. But is this a decent rig the i5-3470? And will this  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/z6s3nL be good for 1440p@144Hz? The GPU in my country is $1100 and is available. The whole rig would be about $2500. Its by the way the cheapest 3070 out there. I can get a 3060 Ti Eagle from Gigabyte for $150 less.

That’ll do great. Very similar to mine, I can do most games at 1440p 144hz if not way higher.

Although in this current market it barley matters, just get any rtx 3080

Also RTX 3080 here would be ~ 2000$ so I'll stick with a 3070. (amd cards are way cheaper then nvidia here)

I had this CPU, lasted great for 7-8 years but now its time to change.

I think it will be easier and efficient to sell the pc as whole and buy a new one.

 

I agree with downkey that you invest way to much on expensive parts, but he just did that.

 

that's my offer, @ me if you have any questions.

 

notes

you can go for the SN550 ssd if you wanna save a buck, practically no performance difference.

a good 750W psu like the one offered could hold this system fine, but 850w will be safer and future-proof.

RTX3080 is just an offer, buy whatever you can find today. from RTX3060TI to 6800XT. Generally amd cards are cheaper, currently they dont have ray tracing but they are working on it and it will probably be out this year.

notes

you can go for the SN550 ssd if you wanna save a buck, practically no performance difference.

a good 750W psu like the one offered could hold this system fine, but 850w will be safer and future-proof.

RTX3080 is just an offer, buy whatever you can find today. from RTX3060TI to 6800XT. Generally amd cards are cheaper, currently they dont have ray tracing but they are working on it and it will probably be out this year.

Thanks for those. Probably will go R7 5800X / RTX 3080. And thanks for answering my first question about my current PC!

Oh! 3060 Ti ASUS Tuf for $1299, worth it? Also RX 6700 XT for $1399.

3060TI for sure, 6700XT is not that good of a card.

Worse then 3060 Ti?
