New gpu or new cpu ram and mobo

[mikeymike 366]

Hey guys so my budget is either a new gpu or cpu ram and mobo?

currently have a i7 4790k at 4.7ghz

corsair vengeance 2400mhz 16gb 2x8gb

 

asus vi extreme mobo

 

and 2 titans sc 6gb in sli.

 

tossing up to replace with 

8700k 

asus Maximus hero mobo

and 3000mhz ram g skill

 

or sell my two titans for a 1080ti

asud strix editon

 

whay would be the better option out of the two

Thanks for your response 

care to please elaborate as to why that option?

Target application?  P3D, FSX, XPlane?

I think I'd wait a month or two more and see how the 9xxx series CPUs and the 2080Ti pan out.  A 4790K to an 8700k, or a 1080Ti from two Titans in SLI isn't gonna exactly water your eyes.

I would wait.  Those Titans are no slouches, and P3D4 works well in SLI.  The 4790K is still a very capable CPU, too.

Might just be that P3Dv5 shows up with PBR and takes advantage of ray tracing, making a 2080Ti or later a much more dramatic step up.

mikeymike,

I would still wait. w6kd, I believe, has given you some sound advice. A lot is happening in our hardware world at the moment and regardless of your monitor you have a reasonable system for now.  

Be patient my friend good and better things are coming.

I don't think you will have to wait all that long matey ... 6 months tops. I wish though, that I had your years mate.  As an aged pensioner I feel I am going to miss out on so very much just when it is getting particularly interesting.

Cheers

I wish I could upgrade in 6 months

 

but when you family and mortgage priorities come first.

 

hopefully when I retire I will purchase my own cockpit.

 

thats the plan lol but that’s a long ways away yet. Only 37yo

Cheers
