Keeping my GPU, upgrading everything else. Help requested.

Build Ready

Build Ready:

Hey r/bapc!

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wYjMW3

My current build is a 4790k.

I do fairly heavy audio/midi music production, video editing in premiere, tons of CSGO, and VR based flight sim. So kinda everything thats cpu and gpu intensive.

I am planning on reusing my case (h440)/2080 super/PSU, but ready to upgrade everything else.

Here is what im thinking so far, but not opposed to going with something like an 11900k build if that single thread performance is worth going intel. Kinda ignorant there.

Anyway would love any advice!

Thank you in advance!

Its fine for your use case, though you wont notice too much of a difference going to a 970 pro and slightly cheaper memory. I would swap the cooler for something like a Noctua NH-U12 as it does outperform the 212, otherwise it is fine.

Yeah cheaper SSD and better CPU cooler would be the changes I'd make as well.

For memory, id suggest Crucial Ballistix. Less expensive, quality Micron chips, and about 30 bucks cheaper. USe that and the money saved on your NVME to get the Noctua cooler.
