I'm thinking something like this. Use existing RAM, PSU, Cooler. Which case you have ?

If 4080 is the same price as 3080ti and 3090 then go 4080.

Posted

Budget (including currency): 

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly gaming (from AAA to Indie)

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): i9-9900K, 2080 Super, MSI Z390 Gaming Edge Wifi, Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200, 1000W PSU (Corsair)

 

i could really use some opinions and advices on upgrading my PC.

CPU: i am thinking 13600K or 13700K (13900K is just too overkill) or even 12th gen? but i am not sure about upgrading my ram to ddr5 or staying with my ddr4 

Mobo: i really like MSI´s Tomahawk Mobos but i am not sure if Z690 or Z790 (which of course depends on CPU and RAM choice)
GPU: i consider a 4080 (dont know which one exactly) but to save a buck (always nice to save money) and still having great performance i am also considering a 3080Ti or even 3090 BUT in Austria all 3 of these cards are about the same price range (somehow) for 4080 i would need to change my case as well i think, because my 360mm radiator is mounted on the front

 

some say "why the upgrade because your PC is still very good" BUT i am a bit crazy when it comes to PCs or tech in generel AND i kinda think upgrading now when most parts are "cheaper" than last year might be a good idea? 

 

thats why i could really use some opinions from you guys AND because none of my friends now what i am talking about as soon as i stark talking about tech

To be an expert is to know more about less.

I kinda agree you don't have to upgrade, only maybe the GPU, and then get a 4090...

If 4080 is the same price as 3080ti and 3090 then go 4080.

thx alot for this, i may wait with the ssd since i already have one nvme as a boot drive and for my software and a seperate 980 nonpro (yeah both are still PCIe 3.0 but i would take the 200€ for the new case first and add a PCIe 4.0 ssd later)

 

my case right now is the MSI MPG Gungnir 110R and considering going 4080 i would like to "upgrade" to the Corsair 5000D Airflow

you don´t think that there could be too much of a bottleneck between the 9900K and the 4090? and what about 4080 then 4090?

 

btw thx for the help

Sure the 4090 will bottleneck the 9900k except at 4k maybe, but if you upgrade your CPU in a generation you'll be fine

And at 2000eur vs 1500 for a 4080 it's a better deal
