I've played some (I think I'm like level 16?) I usually only play with my colleague.Anyone here plays Modern Warfare Warzone?
I NEED a link now!
Awesome. I have actually never played it!
It's aged kinda poorly in some spots such as the camera, but it's great piece of history. Super Mario Odyssey and Sunshine are more polished forms of the formula.Awesome. I have actually never played it!
Wow, EA may have possibly made a better remaster of a classic RTS than Blizzard...
This looks like an absolutely amazing remake of so many good games. All that nostalgia encased in a product with so many genuine improvements.
Yeah I really loved them and they are a big part of what made me a RTS fan. I also played C&C Generals to death.I'm really psyched for these in a couple of weeks. CnC 95 (aka Tiberian Dawn) and Red Alert were the games that made me a gamer and in particular a PC gamer. My neighbour had them and he would lend me the second disk so we could both play. My friends had Nintendos and other 90s consoles and my parents got me an NES when I was 5 or 6, but it never really connected for me. But the first two CnC games and then X-Wing and TIE Fighter, they blew my mind and I have been a PC gaming purist ever since.
I couldn't wait and have been replaying the entire Westwood CnC canon lately, even without the remasters. So far I have finished both GDI and NOD campaigns for Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun, and am about 2/3s of the way through Renegade. Renegade was a little backwards when it was released and didn't have the sophistication of contemporaries like Half-Life, Allied Assault, or Halo, but its kinda just plain, silly fun.
I don't expect anything less. Having this much of customization in a game is always a big plus in my books. The preview that shows what setting does in-game is a nice bonus too.
Haha, I take no credit. I like watching PC benchmark videos from LinusTechTips, Gamers Nexus, etc. and looking up builds from strangers on Reddit.I'll be interested to know what comes of this for you DK. @geetard is definitely your man for this. His advice was crucial during my pc build.
@DKDetective So yeah, I'd definitely wait. I'm still on my 6600k/GTX1070 from end-of-2016 and I don't see myself upgrading soon. I can do 4K gaming in max/ultra settings at 30+ FPS.
Nvidia just revealed their professional GPUs (medical, AI fields) based on their new Ampere architecture and they boast 19.5 TFLOPS!
NVIDIA Ampere Unleashed: NVIDIA Announces New GPU Architecture, A100 GPU, and Accelerator
The latest "CPU gaming king" is the i9 10900k and, according to benchmarks, it's about the same performance than the 9900k. But the 10900k requires a different socket than the Coffee Lake CPUs (9900k and 7700k in your case) so you'll have to fork out more money for a new motherboard.

So, if there's one thing you can upgrade it is the CPU with a 9900k. Though if you do more than gaming, definitely check on AMD's side with the 3700X and 3900X which will give you a fantastic price/performance ratio and similar performance to the 9900k (compared with 3900X). You'd obviously need a new mobo on the other hand.
As for the GPU, get a 2070 Super at decent price. It'll suffice for 1440p gaming and I honestly think 2K is the sweet spot for now.
In short, Nvidia will show off their new consumer GPUs possibly based on Ampere and AMD will reveal their Ryzen 4th Gen CPUs later this year. I would wait to see what they'll offer before building a whole new PC this year.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I only looked at the socket (they both have LGA1151) but they do have different chipsets. Your CPU/mobo are pretty much at their end of life. Even people on 8700k/9900k will have to change their mobo if they want to upgrade to 10900k since it's a completely different socket (LGA1200).By the way, my motherboard is a Z270, which I understood can't really handle the Coffee Lakes, which I thought need a Z370 or Z390?

****ing Intel. Meanwhile the Ryzen 4000 series will support motherboards from 4 years ago...
If you really want to upgrade your GPU now, you shouldn't have any bottleneck with that CPU. Here's a review of a 2080 Ti with a 7700k:

As for HL Alyx, a friend of mine also has a 7700k with a 1080 Ti and he claims to run the game at max settings.
Well for decent 1080p gaming you'll be fine with that GPU.I finally am about to Ryzen based computer with a GTX 1660. What do you guys think?
