This is my current gaming pc and I am looking into switching out my Graphics Card to a  Nvidia RTX 2080ti

i would like some suggestions if I need to switch out any components to make then 2080ti run more smoother. 

Thanks for your help and time.

im located in the USA I necessarily don’t have a budget.

Some might advocate faster RAM, but 3000Mhz should be fine.  OC that cpu tho on a new mobo.

 

Go ahead and throw that overpriced bad boy in there and hope it doesn't die.

I would say to either:

 

a) Get a locked i7-8700 instead of a K CPU, since you have a B360 motherboard.

or

b) Get a Z370 motherboard so you are able to make full potential of your i7-8700K.

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($358.89 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler  ($83.99 @ SuperBiiz) - I cool an 8700K with this cooler, the H150i Pro would be a noisy, kind of ugly, and expensive waste
Motherboard: Asus - Prime Z370-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($159.99 @ Amazon) - You need a Z370 motherboard to overclock. Hence the excellent Z370 motherboard (source: I used one until 2 months ago)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($119.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung - 970 Evo 250 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive  ($87.99 @ Amazon) - Went down to a 250GB nVME boot drive to get...
Storage: Crucial - MX500 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($154.89 @ OutletPC) - 1TB SSD for your games
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($58.89 @ OutletPC) - WD Black is a waste of money when this performs about the same
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB ROG STRIX Video Card  ($449.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair - Crystal 570X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case  ($170.10 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Corsair - RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($59.99 @ Newegg) - Unless you want to do RTX 2080 Ti SLI or something dumb like that you really don't need 750w, infact 550w should be fine but this was the same price as the RM550x. @Stefan Payne @seon123

I'd go with option B.

This is good and all, but spend less on storage so you can get a better GPU. Either way, the 1070 Ti will struggle a bit at that high a fresh rate in some games. If you’re spending $2300 you should be budgeting more than $450 for a GPU

He said he's going to upgrade to the RTX 2080Ti down the line, so it's fine for now. He can always get a 1080 Ti used.

[Cereal5]

Ohhh you listed your current PC. Sorry the PCPP list was kind of misleading.

 

No you don’t need to upgrade anything if you’re buying a 2080 Ti. Your CPU is great for it and the card will destroy games at 1440p. Enjoy your beast

 

edit: get a Z370/390 board so you can overclock lol no point in having that CPU and cooler if you can’t stretch it’s legs!

Oh. I think he should still get a new motherboard to get the most out of the 8700K (Prime Z370-A masterrace) but y'know whatever

See edit. I agree. Also, I got a Z370-A when I upgraded to the 8700K and it had a mem bus problem. Still not entirely sure what it was but it would randomly hang in boot with some configurations of my memory. Ended up getting a Strix Z390-E cause the Asus BIOS is just too damn good.

Everyone you guys were much help i know Fer sure now I will upgrade my motherboard to OC my cpu the only reason I have my current motherboard is cause I got it 40% off at a local tech place a while back and I also apologize for making my post confusing in anyway I’m still new to use the forum

Again Thanks Y’all 

i got a new motherboard and graphics card to go home to.
