Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! Your i7-6700K is starting to feel a bit stuck, especially with your GTX1080. You're thinking about a full upgrade—what do you think would work best for a PC that needs gaming, productivity, and workstation power? Since you've maxed out most parts, I’d suggest considering a high-end CPU-MOBO-PSU combo. It’s an exciting time to upgrade, so whether you go with the latest Intel or AMD depends on your budget and performance goals. Let me know your thoughts!

This combination remains strong. I’d hold off until the end of the year, similar to Black Friday, to purchase the latest AMD/Intel CPUs.

Your i7-4770 with a 2070 Super is solid, but consider upgrading soon if you plan to run demanding tasks or future software. Otherwise, it should still perform well for now.

You're using an i7-6700K with two GTX 1080 graphics cards, but you're not experiencing a bottleneck. What kind of games or content are you playing?

For better results right away, consider an upgrade now. However, by November, potential buyers might regret their decision.

Witcher 3 doesn't reach 144 FPS on high settings. I finished the game, it's a solid title.
