Budget (including currency): $1400

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dead Space, RE4, etc... 

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): 

- 1000w EVGA Power Supply

- 16 gb 3200mhz ram

- 1 tb Samsung m.2

- 500gb Samsung m.2

- 4 tb Seagate hdd

- Corsair Crystal 570x 

- Corsair H100i 240mm

 

 

I've been running an i9-9900k and RTX 2070 for a while now and have been thinking of upgrading to Nvidia's 4000s series as well as switching to AMD. Currently I am thinking about upgrading to a 7800x3d and a RTX 4070 keeping all of my original components but possibly upgrading to a NH-D15 from my Corsair H100i. From my 30 minutes of research it seems solid enough to last for a while, I built my original pc when the i9-9900k came out but I was rug pulled by Nvidia releasing the super tiers of gpus not long after but its still done great for years. Wanted the communities input to see if this would be a worthwhile upgrade, whether there is a better option, or if simply getting the 4070 and keeping everything else would be fine. Thanks in advance.

You don't really need to go next gen, tbh all next gen GPU's right now are a bit of a money grab. What parts do you currently have?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fkYB8r
You could build something like this, Ryzen 7 5800x3d and a 6800xt, all new parts and would perform great for 1440p gaming. As I said before what parts are you keeping?

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).

I love Photography (Using a Canon 60D)

Yeah gpus being so pricey as of late is my main concern, better than when scalpers were everywhere but they are still high. 

My pc looks like this currently:

- RTX 2070

- i9-9900k 

- ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) MOBO

- Corsair H100i 240mm

- 1000w EVGA Power Supply

- 16 gb 3200mhz ram

- 1 tb Samsung m.2

- 500gb Samsung m.2

- 4 tb Seagate hdd

- Corsair Crystal 570x 

 

If I did upgrade I wouldn't sell anything and probably use the parts I trade out for a side project. I'm looking at either keeping everything below the RTX 2070 and just replacing the gpu or keeping everything below the Maximus Mobo and replacing cpu and gpu

Theres no point going 4070? The 6800xt is a much better choice, exact same performance and much cheaper.

Well keep all the storage, the cooler, the PSU and the case. Then buy everything else brand new.
