Hi everyone, first time posting and I'm considering various upgrades.
I am not sure where my current bottle neck is, but I am looking to upgrade my PC bit by bit. I'd like to achieve all three of the upgrades listed below over time, but I'm not sure the order to go in, or if these are even good choices.
Current build:
Will my current build run games well at 2560 x 1080 on the ultrawide monitor until upgrading the GPU to run at 1440p?
Will the GPU upgrade be throttled by my old CPU?
Is the CPU upgrade even necessary? Most sources I've see say the old Sandy Bridge K models are still viable. I kind of want to hold out til the next gen Intel architecture, so ideally the CPU would come last unless it is a major hindrance.
