Re: graphics cards, prices, etc., Jay has some pretty decent rationale on waiting a bit for a GPU in some of his recent videos.

Ill have a look! Thanks

Get something like this:
More cores = king.

Then continue to use your old gpu for now. If you are happy with it, who knows.. then stick with it. Money saved.
Before christmas, i think you should be able to get something "around the performance of the old 2080 ti (if not even more)" for around 400-500 dollars (thats why i increased the powersupply watts a bit, to cover any spikes needed by a newer gpu).
Good luck

That's what I'll probably end up doing; getting all but the GPU and just stick with my current for a couple of months. Worthwhile
Thank you!

It's painstakingly difficult to recommend any hardware right now, at their current prices, when:
1) New GPUs from nVidia are being released on the 17th and 24th of this month
2) New GPUs from AMD are being released in October/November
3) New CPUs from AMD are being released in October/November

Yeah, fair point. I realize that I should just hold off. Might cause a lot of headaches, but will be worth it in the end. Last time I upgraded I bought a 970 just a couple of months before the next series were launched. Always regretted that.


Thank you all for the input. Really appreciate it!
