    Upgrading 10 PC


    I have the following and want to upgrade my grpahics card, but its a 3 fold question.

    1. CPU is AMD Ryzen 2600 6 Core
    2. MB is Gigabyte B450M Gaming
    3. Win x64
    4. GTX Geforce 2070

    Now, if I upgrade to a GeForce 'bigger one' will it be a beneficial move or should I also upgrade the CPU? Decisions decisions? It wont be a 3080, I could get a new machine for that.

    In 11 forum I got some answers about changing PC but decided on the answers, and my age, to stay with Win10 and poss upgrading.

    According to Price Spy my 2070 has held its price for 3-4 years now. Would I do beeter getting this:

    MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming Z Trio LHR HDMI 3xDP 8GB at £630

    I would upgrade the GPU and see if you are happy with the speed. I bought a RTX 2060 Super 2 years ago and it runs MS Flight Simulator fine using a 2012 i5-3570K CPU.

    Looking at your specs i would get a X570 Mobo and new CPU they dropped the 5800x to $289.00 somewhere and get 32GB of the same ram to help smooth you out even with that 2070 that combination will be better off till you decide to get a more powerful gpu least a 3070ti
