I am going to need a new CPU,Motherboard, And RAM in my normal gaming rig in my man cave ( not the one in my sig). This one just runs games like Dota,Overwatch, Witcher 3. All at 1080p

 

In my testing in the witcher 3 at preset high settings cpu pegged at 100% (75C) GPU also made it to 100% but not all the time. In dota on Highest settings it was more clear, CPU 100% with drops and stutters GPU at 60% the whole time. So there seems to be a slight bottleneck depending on the game. 

 

Current spec:

CPU-A10 6800K overclocked to 4.8 ( upgrade path......fuckin jack shit....as in jack's shit is probably faster)

Cooler-Hyper212 Evo

Ram-8GB gskill 1600MHz

Motherboard- MSI mATX cheap shit

GPU-R9 280 Windforce (planning on keeping for a while longer)

 

Im thinking 250-350  for the whole upgrade? depending on CPU choice. Suggestions? 

Current: R2600X@4.0GHz\\ Corsair Air 280x \\ RTX 2070 \\ 16GB DDR3 2666 \\ 1KW EVGA Supernova\\ Asus B450 TUF

Old Systems: A6 5200 APU -- A10 7800K + HD6670 -- FX 9370 + 2X R9 290 -- G3258 + R9 280 -- 4690K + RX480

Not easily and it depends on the board. I personally wouldn't.
