Hi all,

My current build is getting quite old now so I'm starting to think about upgrading some parts of it to, at the end, have a new computer.

Budget (including currency): 2000~

Country: Italy

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (League of Legends until I get a better GPU, with stream), Coding (AI in future), VMs and hopefully some minor content creation

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): 

The current build is:

  • CPU: FX-8350
  • MOBO: Asrock 990fx fatal1ty killer
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 770 2Gb (Asus DCU2)
  • PSU: Corsair RM850 80+Gold
  • RAM: G.Skill TridentX 1866 (2x8Gb)
  • Storage1: Kingston HyperX 120Gb Sata SSD
  • Storage2: Seagate 2Tb Sata HDD
  • Storage3: Seagate 500Gb Sata HDD
  • Case: AeroCool x-warrior

I was thinking about this build path

  • Samsung Odissey G7 (27 or 32?), it's somewhat around 600-700€
  • Noctua NH-U12S (My current case doesn't allow me any higher), around 70€
  • Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus M.2 1Tb SSD, around 200€
  • LianLi UniFan 120

Then aither

  • Nvidia RTX 3080 (To take advantage of it's power, but bottlenecked by CPU), was thinking about going for the EVGA FTW3 Ultra gaming found at 850€ until a few days ago

Or

  • Rayzen 5800X or 5900X (To push the GPU to it's limit), about 500-700€
  • Asus ROG B550 or X570 (I'd like to go for the Crosshair VIII Hero for future water cooling, EKWB monoblock), about 250-450€
  • G.Skill TrydentZ Neo 3600 (16 or 32?), about 200-400€

It won't be bought all at once but over a period of a year (To save some money and have a bit more to spend hopefully)

 

For the case I'll be switching to the new LianLi o11-D Evo when it comes out

 

Does it make sense? Or do you have any suggestions?

All doesnt make sense really. Youre stretching a 9 year old CPU that wasnt even the hottest kid on the block back when it was released. My split would be to build an all new PC for 1200$-1500$, with selling your PC boosting your 500-800$ peripheral/glow up budget to something around 1000-1300$.
