AlwaysDyingX Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 i7 6700k 1080ti 64gig ram (I know its overkill) 500 for OS 2tb for games Still deciding whether or not to upgrade to a 3080 Quote
imthesoldier Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Core i7 6700k's look to be selling on ebay for around the 100 or so US dollar mark, and a 1080ti could easily net you 400 dollars or more, depending on condition. Not sure about Mobo + Ram though. There are websites out there that will take your old parts, and give you a quote, although there's no haggling for price. What you see it what you get. If you want the most money, then Ebay is your friend I think. If you decide to just upgrade the GPU, and go with a 3080, it'll likely bottleneck your CPU unless you game at higher resolutions. 6700k is certainly old, but not THAT slow, and it sounds like you're running DDR4 memory? One option is to upgrade your GPU, and hold onto the res of the build until maybe AMD Zen 4, and/or DDR5 are more mature. I guess the biggest question right now is how do you typically game? 1080p, 1440p, 4k? 16:9? 21:9? 30fps, 60fps, 120fps, or higher? The 1080 ti is still to this day a great card, and puts it at, or close to RTX 3060/3060ti horsepower. Quote
