Upgrading my gaming PC

[orangegizmo]

I'm thinking of upgrading my current gaming pc; It's almost 6 years old. Current setup is a 7th Gen i5 CPU and GTX 1080Ti, I play mostly open world games - Witcher 3, AC series etc no FPS games for me. Monitor is Alienware AW3418DW.

I'm wondering if I should upgrade my entire rig completely, which would cost me between 5-6.5k or I should just upgrade my CPU and MOBO 1st and then my GPU later - which would save me quite a fair bit.

Thank you in advance for your inputs.

Good idea to upgrade CPU and motherboard first. What Do you have any in mind that can match future GPU upgade ?

I'm thinking of MSI Z790 Edge Wifi DDR4 with i7 13700k then a 4080 at a later stage.

I'm wondering is a Z790 MOBO really necessary? Would a B or H series MOBO suffice?

I would recommend this combo > https://www.amazon.sg/MSI-Z790-P-Pr...cphy=9062515&hvtargid=pla-1913443973646&psc=1
or similar. It's best suitable when you use it with a RTX 4000 series GPU and needless to rely on DDR4 overclock memory.

Ah I see, thank you for your recommendations at least I know where to begin.
