You have an i5-9400F and a GTX 1660 Ti. You're considering upgrading your system but aren't sure where to begin. You're thinking about the 3080 and wondering whether to upgrade both the CPU and GPU or just go with the 3080. This update was edited on July 24, 2022 by Jydetornet.

Oh no, I missed the budget details—1400 or 1800 dollars at most. Right now it's about a 1080p monitor, probably around 120Hz, though it might be 144Hz (I'm not home yet so can't confirm). The specs are listed in an attached image. I'm playing some VR games like Boneworks, B&S, and Half-Life, plus ARK (though it's mixed). I'm looking for a long-lasting upgrade with solid performance. If necessary, I'm open to building a new setup just with the existing case, RAM, and SSD. Thanks for the welcome and sorry for the lack of info—just let me know if you need more.
