I would upgrade your cpu and mobo to a 5800X3D and a b550 tomahawk

What are your other specs? (ssd, psu, case, fans if any)

[Papafigos]

SSD its an old Samsung Evo, but I think it's gone, psu it's a Corsair rm 750x, case is cooler master MB530p, CPU cooler Corsair h110i gt.

I would probably upgrade your cpu, cpu cooler and mobo

Thanks for the fast response, do you think I could get more FPS with this combo ? I would need an SSD or nvme as well ? And regarding RAM ? I'm saying this because it's still on the budget.

1080 ti

Oof, I've seen 1080ti's dropping like flies recently. That CPU will keep up with most games these days but if your GPU craps out you're SOL, especially if we hit another GPU bubble. A 3060ti will edge out your current card in performance 

Also, welcome to the forums!

you don't need an nvme ssd

if your gpu is being bottlenecked by your cpu then yes

The 1080 ti is still pretty good nowadays
And the 5800X3D will give you more flexibility for future gpu upgrades

And what ram do you specifically have?

[Papafigos]

 

In warzone 2 for eg, I get CPU bottleneck when using mid to low settings with major dips in perfomance. I know it isn't a very optimized game, but it is what it is.

I have 2x 8gb 3200, can't confirm no the model, but it's teamgroup. My mother boar is the rog strix z 390 e gaming.

Basically what I want is to get good perfomance with competitive settings something I can't right now. I use a 1080 display with 144 refresh rate.

I would upgrade to that 5800X3D, that b550 mobo and cpu cooler I linked above then

That’ll be bottlenecked pretty hard by the 9700k

Future wise seems to be the best option as well. My fear is exactly what OddOod said, if my 1080 ti dies I'm screwed.

Honestly it was the best component that I have ever bought ever. They just don't do cards with this quality anymore.

 

My cooler isn't compatible with AM4 right ? The cooler you recommended, will it keep low temps ? I'm used to liquid.

It seems pretty old so I doubt it will be compatible. Ye the noctua will keep the temps down on the 5800X3D

In what way? Replacing this would be high priority, especially if the data in it is critical, non-replicable, and has no backup.

It doesn't detect the sss in boot, goes straight to bios and no SSD in bios as well. There is no critical data in that drive. It's my gaming SSD. Im afraid my current ram and 1080 ti won't keep up with the 5800x3d
