Posted January 30 (edited) I'm looking to potentially upgrade some parts, though, I'm not incredibly certain which I should go for so I figured I'd ask here. Also, if I'm missing anything below - please let me know! This is my first time sharing. Current specs: CPU: Intel i5-11600K - 11th Gen Mobo: ASUS TUF GAMING Z590-PLUS Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 Case: Zalman ATX Mid Tower PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 GT 80 Plus Gold GPU: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB RAM: OLOy Blade RGB 64GB DDR4-3600 (4×16GB) HDD: WD Blue 1TB SSD: SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB Monitor 1: Sceptre IPS 24" 165Hz (1920x1080) Monitor 2: BenQ MOBIUZ EX240N 24" 165Hz (1920x1080) 1. Budget & Location I'd prefer it be under $1K USD. I'm US based. 2. Aim I mostly use my PC for gaming. Some examples being Black Desert, FPS games such as CoD and the likes, FFXIV, and so on. Those are my most played games in order, but I can list more if needed. 3. Monitors I use two monitors currently, but I have thought about getting a third. I'm not fully decided on that, though. 4. Peripherals I don't need peripherals or OS at the moment. 5. Why are you upgrading? It's been several years since I made any significant upgrades, so I feel my specs are somewhat outdated and could use some fine-tuning. Edited January 30 by Yeoa Forgot to add that my RAM is DDR4.

Stop with the feeling of missing out, you are not at that point yet. You can add a third monitor. Id honestly suggest a 1440p 240hz IPS/OLED.

I figured as much. I tried future-proofing it as much as possible, but the thought still lingers, so I figured I'd ask to see what the public has to say.

Posted January 30 Not worth doing anything with it just yet. Your system should be holding up to your needs well. Dont upgrade for the sake of upgrading unless youre down to do that from a hobbyist perspective. As soon as the 11600k becomes a limitation in multicore, get an 11900k and a better cooler. When the 8gb of vram on the 3070ti becomes a limitation, look into a new gpu. But thats only when those become limitations. If what youre doing with the machine works fine, then you dont need to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been holding up beautifully, to be honest, but upgrading it would definitely be from a hobbyist standpoint like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
