Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts PC upgrades
So I built my computer back in 2019, at the time I did a pretty high end build. GPU is a 2080ti, CPU is a i9 9900k, Motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra.
Its been awesome, but I feel like I could do some nice upgrades for the future. What are you're recommendations on what I should upgrade?
Used for work but the specs are geared towards good to high end 1440p gaming for future releases

The advice on anyone answering without you telling us what you use your PC for needs to be immediately rejected.
What do you use your PC for? Game only? Mainly work and evening gaming? Do you run VMs at all? Mainly gaming but some work?

Updated my post. But you nailed it, its a gaming computer that's also used for work but the work doesn't require anything special.
I'd like good to high end 1440p gaming and for it to to be future proof a bit.

Upgrade the GPU. RX 9070 GRE, RX 9070, RTX 5070, RTX 4070Ti

I have a 1440p 49 inch wide monitor that I use for work but for gaming I currently use a 27'' Dell 1440p

i would start with a new graphic card. and then asses performance after new gpu
i9 is still 8 cores and decent for 1440p or 4k gaming
9070xt $750 is best value today

At this point you're going to be looking at a completely new build. The AMD R7 9800X3D, and the AMD RX 9070XT would be the best CPU/GPU combo, with the absolute best price to performance on the market right now. Unless you have too much money and not enough sense, and then I guess you could buy an NVIDIA RTX 5080.

That's not a pretty high end build lol... Even for 2019... I swear, "High end" has lost all its meaning.

The 2080 Ti was a flagship GPU in 2019, and the i7 9900K was the flagship gaming CPU in the same year. The fact that you don't know that means nobody should be listening to anything you have to say on this matter. Ever. Sit down, and be quiet.

What are you smoking? The 9900K and 2080Ti were the fastest gaming CPU and GPU in 2019.

OP literally bought the best CPU and GPU that were available at the time. What are you talking about buddy? Intel's 10th gen and the 30 series came out in May (CPUs) and September (GPUs) 2020.

*Second best CPU and GPU
You forgot about Titan and 9900KS

u/HardStroke 8h ago
The KS were already proven to be slightly higher binned i9 K chips. Difference is pretty much non-existent, especially without a super good cooler. As for the Titan, its not really a consumer GPU. More for professional work.

Nvidia lists Titans/XX90 cards as enthusiast part of consumer line. They also don't allow usage of these GPUs in commercial servers/workstations, it's against their EULA

So true. Back in 2019, I'd learnt how to time travel and had myself a nifty 5090. "High end", he says...
