Consider what needs improvement and plan the next upgrade accordingly.
Consider what needs improvement and plan the next upgrade accordingly.
It depends on the game and your chosen configurations, which aligns with what you need for a well-rounded setup. In competitive eSports titles where you lower settings to maximize performance, the R5 5500 might become the constraint. On the other hand, in high-end AAA games where you boost graphics, the 9060XT or 5060Ti could be the limiting factor.
As an esports player, your current setup is solid for most games, but the bottleneck with your 7800x3d and 2070 is becoming noticeable. You're aiming for 1440p and want to upgrade, though you're aware some people think CPUs matter more than GPUs—especially for competitive titles.
You're near a micro center—let me know for pricing details. When do you intend to purchase these components? And are appearance important to you?
Others might not agree with me, but my top suggestion is to sell your PC and use the proceeds to buy a new system that can handle most high-end games at 1440p or higher. Upgrades usually cause bottlenecks or require new components like a different motherboard or power supply. I’m just sharing this idea.
