Upgrade

[BunchyPants]

Hi everybody.

I am planning to upgrade my pc. I want to buy a new GPU but i dont know what to buy. I want to buy an RTX 5080. Here where i live (Belgium) i can buy one for 1000 euro.

I play a big range of games from battlefield to hearts of iron. 

Currently i am playing Maffia and i start to see that my pc has met his limits regarding the GPU. CPU is only at 30%.

I have an corsair rm1000x so i think i am good to have i big powerusing card.

Would it be a good upgrade?

 

Thank you

MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G VENTUS 3X OC PLUS   1029 euro

 

I dont really know what to choise. I would rather stick with team green.

I dont want to chance my pc specs. My I9 9900k is good for now. I will upgrade that within 2 years. 

I know that my motherboard only has PCIe3.0 Will those cards not work on PCIe3.0 then?

Thanks for the advise
