Hello, Your wife mentioned you bought a Samsung Odyssey G9 to have more screens at home. I’ve been looking for an ultrawide display for gaming, but your current setup isn’t handling it well. I’m considering a new graphics card upgrade around $1000, mainly for D3, GTAV, and Battlefield. My old rig works fine with the existing monitor, but I’m unsure if switching to something like the i5 10600K would be a good fit. Any suggestions on optimizing the system?

The existing CPU would severely limit performance on a newer GPU such as a GTX 2080 or 3080. One might consider replacing the entire system.

Consider what you want to build and whether the I5 10600k still fits your needs. It could be a good choice for gaming, but its relevance depends on your priorities.

It's an excellent chip for gaming, particularly at 4K resolution.

Budget? Perhaps whatever the weird VIDIA calls for will replace the 1660 Super (tm 2020 by @BlueScope819)

you're likely checking for an AMD 3080 class card that offers better performance than a 2080 Ti for around $800. these models are available in September, while Zen 3 releases usually happen between November and December. if you're patient, a 10700k with 32GB RAM is affordable these days. you can find more details here: the link provided discusses a 32GB DDR4 288-pin module with GSKILL. it's generally a versatile setup, but avoid RTX 2xxx cards unless necessary.
