Looking to take advantage of the 3080 upgrade. Do I need to change my CPU RAM MOBO, or will it bottleneck ? PSU can keep right ?

Owned this rig since mid 2016 but happy to wait longer also, since there are no real titles I want to play at the moment, but most likely CyberPunk

Just keeping up to date with the tech and best bang for buck

i7 6700K
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz
EVGA G2 1000W
Asus 980Ti Strix
Asus PG279Q 1440p

Currently playing Genshin Impact only

Is now a decent time to upgrade ? Haven’t upgraded for 6 years.

Are the prices OK despite exchange rates ?

Hi what can I get for rm7-8k budget with 4070ti ? Even better if can hit ~Rm6-6.5k mark

Possible to get the gpu for rm3500 from retailers ?

Already have evga g2 supernova 1000w and pg279q 1440p monitor, and most likely reuse these parts.

Currently using 6700k and 980ti, and would like to play some modern games such as Sekiro , Elden Ring, Diablo 4

You want 4070 Ti and need cheaper. Tell that to Nvidia.

Any more parts you need to reuse?

Can reuse d15 and the psu. How much is the bracket/mounting for d15 noctua lga1700 these days?

Maybe the fractal r5 case too.

If I got an offer for 3080 and 3090 with difference of RM800

Which one is a better deal at 1440p ?

Do I really need the 3090 vram?

Or just save money and get the 3080 ?

is it important if we get Hynix A/B/M die for DDR5 or those are mainly for Overclockers ?

All kingston beast should come with Hynix M now right ?

If I can get a mint condition 3080 at rm1300, would that be a good buy ? Or better go for 4070 ? Still seems pricey.

Which motherboard and cpu do you recommend to pair it with ?

I am looking at used parts first. Which CPU best to pair with a 3080 ?

Shall I go 5600x or 5800x3d ?

Otherwise, I can consider 13600KF brand new since they seem affordable also

Budget for CPU mobo ram around 2-3K

U re better off with:
I5 13600kf
Msi B760m Mortar WiFi (abt800++) or spending more on Msi Z790 Pro D4 version
D4 16Gb x 2

doesn't really cost a bomb. I did rather u opt for msi Z790 Pro instead. Can be had at an attractive price online as a combo

Thanks for sharing this.

Around how much this set with b760 / z790?

Got URL link to this attractive combo online ?

Or which shop on shopee/lazada ?

If you can get good used deals, 5800x3d + X570 mobo (midrange MSI or Asrock) + 16GB (8x2) DDR4 3600 /3200 RAM (can get new since DDR4 arent that expensive) + dual tower cooler (ie new SE207XT, PA120/SE, or used Fuma2, FC140, Noc D15).

I have Noctua D15 already so im good to go

Just need a cpu mobo ram.

Possible a new case also . Any recommendations ?

Currently on Fractal R5 - usable , but would like to change to something more modern... say Dynamic O11 ?
