I'm currently gaming at 1440p 144hz (or would be without this bottleneck), with a little 4K on the side. I have a reference 980Ti and an FX 8320, sometimes they play well together, most of the time they don't which is why I'm here. I'm not very familiar with which CPUs nowadays, Ryzen dropped, Intel is being competitive I assume? I'm completely out of the loop.
So I figured since I'll be buying a motherboard, CPU, and cooler to replace this one part, I might as well consider a GPU upgrade as well. Although I'm not sure if I need to.
I don't need a top of the line CPU, just something that can hang with my 980ti, or maybe a 1080/1080ti if I upgrade. Ryzens equivalent to the i5 line, or a real i5 rather, I have no brand preference. A motherboard recommendation would be very useful as well, but again I'd prefer if it wasn't very pricey or top of the line.
Thanks.
