3200 memory support for 8700 (non-K) processor
As long as your CPU isn’t struggling, upgrading probably isn’t necessary. The 8700 still performs well today. Much like the 9900K, it wasn’t completely overtaken by AMD until the 5000 series arrived. If you’re aiming for top frame rates at 1080p, you likely won’t see a noticeable gain. However, if you’re targeting 1080p Ultra or 1440p High resolutions, you probably won’t notice much difference in most games. If you spot a good deal on the 9900K soon—say $200–250—then it might be worth considering. Check out past reviews comparing it to the 8700K for a clearer picture. Keep in mind that the 2080Ti offers more power than the 6700XT, and the Nvidia driver consumes more CPU resources, so the gap between them will be smaller for you.
I believe an1080 works well together. It matches the time period of the 8700. You might consider a stronger hand (such as the 1080ti), but it remains a solid choice.
He bought this prebuilt PC a few years back. I’m thinking about upgrading in four months because of performance issues—especially with Minecraft in a large 70-player Skyblock lobby. It’s not unexpected they often cause lag, but I’m concerned it might be more than just hardware. We’ll find out how it goes.
It seems this game demands more computing power compared to others. If you want to check if the problem is hardware-related, try running it on a more powerful machine with the same internet speed—perhaps someone else has one that could help.
