I'm currently using a GTX 1650 Super paired with a Ryzen 5 3600, but I'm totally fed up with this setup in 2025. It only gets around 50 fps and struggles to run the games I want to play. I'm looking to upgrade to a new build with a budget of $2500 to $3000, and I'm specifically looking for an Nvidia GPU. Got any ideas or recommendations?

Honestly, I'd recommend the 5070 Ti. The price jump to the 5080 isn't really worth it in my opinion, especially if you're looking to save a bit.
For your budget, I suggest going with a decent B850 motherboard, 32GB of CL30 6000MHz RAM, and consider the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. You’d also need at least a 2TB NVMe SSD for storage and a solid PSU (850-1000 watts) from the tier list. For the case, something with good airflow, like the Lian Li Lancool 207, would be ideal. As for the GPU, the RTX 5080 is a great choice, but if you can wait, the 5080 Super is worth it too!
If you’re willing to invest that much, a 5700X3D along with an RTX 4080 or even a 4090 could be amazing! Just make sure your PSU can handle it!
How much are the 4090s going for?
Okay bet, thanks!
