hey there, built my PC back in 2016 and figured its time to upgrade.
not currently at home but have a general idea of what parts I have.
GeForce 1080
i7-8700k
48gb RAM
Probably looking to upgrade to atleast a 40 series or equivalent.
Thanks in advance, let me know if there's anything else to mention.
Can get specifics later.

48gb ram? damn you're loaded. anyways whats your psu model and your budget?
Youreallythinksoeh@reddit (OP)
yeah thankfully stacked on ram lol, I'd have to check when I'm home regarding PSU, probably looking to spend about 2-3k canadian.

Youreallythinksoeh@reddit (OP)

Recommend something like this. An i7 14700KF make sure to do a bios update on your board asap since it could damage the CPU due to a bad microcode issue that's only fixed in a later bios update, a 1050w psu for headroom but 850w works too, 5080, as for motherboard i recommend you find one yourself i can't really find any besides that one on PCPartPicker since everything else was blank with no price
