Hi all
I would like to upgrade my 2016 rig for 4 k gaming and could definitely use some expertise.
My current build (from 2016):
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K
CPU Cooler CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CW-9060007-WW) High Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
Motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO LGA 1151
Memory: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
Storage: Samsung-850-evo-500gb-solid-state-drive
Storage: WD Blue 4TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache (2 in RAID 1)
Video Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti STRIX-GTX980TI-DC3OC-6GD5-GAMING 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos ATX Full Tower Case Silver - (RC-1000-KSN1-GP)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 220-G2-0850-XR 80+ GOLD 850W Fully Modular EVGA ECO Mode
Operating System: W10, 64b
Monitor: Dell UltraSharp U3011 (2560 X 1600)
I was hoping I could get to 4k by replacing the GPU and the monitor, but am more than happy to hear what you have to say...
What I had in mind for the upgrade:
GPU: RTX 2070 Super
Monitor: Alienware 34 Curved Gaming Monitor - AW3420DW
I think the CPU and rest would hold, but have concerns about PSU. Thoughts anyone?
thanks in advance
