Currently running the following system:

 

MSI Z490 ACE with most recent BIOS update.

Intel i7 10400k (o/c to 4.6 base, 5.3 turbo)

GSkill Trident 256GB memory (@ stock settings of 2800mt/s)

XMP disabled (not usable with 4 sticks @ 32gb each)

Corsair 360mm AIO CPU cooler

Nvidia 1080ti FE

EVGA 850w modular PSU

 

Looking for suggestions for a GPU upgrade that will run most games, released within the past 3 to 5 years, at Ultra or High settings without encountering significant CPU bottleneck, voltage or cooling issues. 

I am not looking to do any upgrades other than GPU, meaning, GPU must work well with existing hardware. 

Thanks for your input and suggestions.

What are the specs of your monitor(s), also would you be okay with a second hand GPU or would you want to buy one new?

ACER ET430K

Screen Size: 43 Inches

Resolution: 4K UHD 2160p

Native Resolution: 3840x2160

Aspect Ratio: 16:9

Refresh Rate: 60 Hz

Response Time: 5 Milliseconds

 

Used is fine.

Only conditions are:

Would prefer RTX 3060

Price should not be high enough to require removal/sale of a kidney.

Prefer 12gb GDDR6 or better.

Has not been in a mining rig.

Not overclocked, unless it came that way from manufacturer. 

From non-smoking household.

Prefer factory packaging with all accessories included, but that's not a deal breaker.

Cooler and fans are clean and not dust caked or clogged.

 

Demanding, yes.

But if you take care of your system, all the above is a non issue.

 

Thanks
