Question PC Build help 1200-1500 (excluding GPU)
I haven't been active on this platform recently and am not up to date with the newest hardware in 2024. My setup consists of an older PC equipped with an RTX 2080, an i7-8700K processor, and a Z370 motherboard. I'm considering constructing a new system, leaving the GPU for now and planning future upgrades. Any recommendations for components would be very helpful!

Why do you plan on upgrading?
In other words, what do you want your new PC to do? What kind of performance, what sort of gaming and what resolution? Any special wordloads like photo or video editing?
Is your Windows license OEM? If it isn't, you can re-use it for Win 11 if you wish.
If your main focus is gaming, this selection should suit you well. I didn’t choose a case since that’s more of a personal choice, or you could simply use what you already have.
