Looking for Affordable Upgrade Options for My PC Parts
Asked by
GamerDude42
I have a gaming build with a GTX 1080 Ti GPU, an Intel Core i5-9600K CPU at 3.70GHz with 6 cores, and 32GB of RAM. I don't game much on my PC, but I'm excited about the Oblivion remake and I'm considering upgrading some parts. However, I want to keep my costs low. What would be some good, budget-friendly upgrade options for my current setup?

Honestly, the 1080 Ti is still capable for the Oblivion remake. You might see a small boost in performance if you move to an RTX 4060, but it’s not necessary unless you want to.

Upgrading your GPU should be your priority. What’s your budget looking like? You could consider both Nvidia and AMD options depending on how much you want to spend.

If you sell your 1080 Ti, you could upgrade to a 2080 Ti. That said, if you can stretch your budget a bit, a 4070 Ti would be an excellent choice. Your CPU is still pretty solid, so you might not need to upgrade that right now.

Upgrading from an i5 to a 12600K and pairing it with a 4070 has worked wonders for me, and I kept my old case, cooler, PSU, and RAM. I play at 1440p and it runs super smoothly!

I'd recommend an i7-9700, or even a 9700K if you're up for overclocking, along with something like a 3070 Ti. However, I’d actually backtrack on the 3070 Ti since it doesn’t provide much of a boost over your current card. Maybe look into a 4070 or 6800XT instead.
