Hardware upgrade

[Evil Dr Porkchop]

is it really worth it ?,curent system specs 17 6700K Ausus RTX2070 ) Asus Ranger 7 motherboard, shit card graphics card,or crappy drivers was thinking of going I9 9900K motherboard Asus Maximus Hero, Z390 chipset and the new Radeon 5700XT however i game at 1080p and play mid range games and can't seem to validate spending 1200 $ for a possible 20% performance increase.....suggestions ? but i do need a new case not one of those shitty plastic jobs

Or have i answered my own question ?

If you fine with playing mid-range games at 1080p then there is no need to upgrade.
Most top-end graphics cards nowadays are mostly aimed at 1440p and with fps over 60.

I kept all the internals and just changed the case when I wanted to 'upgrade', the new case has better cooling and generally looks nicer.

If you were interested in developing a game with either 3D Daz or Playhome/HS, do you really need like over 24GB Ram or is that always just a number pulled out of thin air?

Wouldn't 16gb be enough to render decent looking 720p or 1080p images when they're not going to the extremes of having hundreds of details in each scene?

As somebody who develops in Daz, out of thin air.
My PC has 16GB of RAM and I do just fine (it does have a GPU with 11GB of its own, but the system RAM is only 16gb)
Daz uses your GPU's RAM for rendering, system RAM only for previews or if you render off the CPU

OP didn't say anything about daz.

if you are going to change platforms, i would go AMD Ryzen. MUCH better bang per buck.
only way i would buy Intel right now is if i gamed for a living and wanted absolute minimum frame times.

i would just get a 5700 or XT and see how your current system runs.

planing a new build myself. my 2500K motherboard caps are starting to go. (needing to increase voltage on CPU, and RAM)
