Hey! You can definitely use your old PC's CPU for the new build. Just make sure it matches the requirements of the components you're planning to install. Your i5 9400f should work as a CPU in a new system, though you might need to check compatibility with your motherboard and other parts.

Hello there! It's good to see you're joining the discussion. Using an Intel Core i5-9400F with an RTX 3080 should work fine, though performance may vary based on the game.

Checking performance for 4K rendering. Lower FPS expected at 1080p and 1440p.

I understand. You were considering a Ryzen 5 3600 or possibly a more expensive model based on budget.

Sure, I'll stick to 1080p. It seems you might need to adjust your budget and upgrade your CPU along with the graphics card.

The 3080 at 1080p offers little value, it's better suited for 4K displays.

I own a 1080p display running at 165Hz, possibly planning an upgrade soon. Right now I’m thinking about constructing a more capable computer.

I’d hold off until the next AMD processors arrive before upgrading... for a 1080 you might want to look into the 3070 or the forthcoming 3060.
