Hi fellow carbs!
So I recently sold my bicycle to upgrade my gaming rig but I'm unsure on what I should buy or upgrade so I was hoping someone might give me some insight.
My budget Is around R12 000.
Here are my specs:
i3 8100
Asus Tuf b360 Pro gaming motherboard
16gb Ballistix ddr4 RGB Ram 3200mhz
Asus ROG Strix 1070 8gb
Corsair 650w PSU
128gb m.2
128ssd
4tb hdd
I believe my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU and definitely want to upgrade the CPU.
Here as some choices, I ran by:
So i could by an RTX 2070 second hand and then buy an i7 9700k or,
I was thinking my best option should be to buy a 1080ti and an i7 9700k since the 1080ti still outperforms the RTX 2070 and seeing the i7 9700k is a beast of a CPU
or I could buy an upgrade kit to a 10th gen i7 CPU with an ROG strix motherboard and keep my graphics card until I save up for a new one.
What do you guys think I should do?
