Yep. Title. So Still Rockin that 6700k, 2x nvidia 1080's

Definitely time for an upgrade....

1440p 144hz monitor. Supports Gsync only but not specifically tied to Nvidia for a GPU.

Thinking Cpu/Mobo/Ram/GPU.

Pretty much just occasional Gaming & Plex server/etc. Cooler/Temps aren't an issue, will be adding to my loop.

amd cpu : 9800x3d for non x3d chip probably 9700x
motherboard : B650E = B850 < X870 personaly wouldnt recomonend anything less then 10+2+1 for that cpu alot of as-rock boards fried the cpu , but not only limited to as-rock , but looking at report from reedit/news as-rock killed more then any another one :/
Ram: 2x16 or 2x32 6000mhz cl30-32 ? on hynix A-die for best future oc options corsair have a nice cheap 2x32 kit look for ram with EXPO not xmp

GPU: thats kinda hard depends if you looking in to mid range then amd 9060xt , looks better then price nvidia 5060ti talking about 16gb version's and Nvidia driver issues since january dont help like for 5 months every single nvidia driver was still is in some way

later you have 5070ti vs 9070xt , and too be fair i would go with amd is alot cheaper with same/better performence for example in me country 5070ti is around 900euro vs amd 9070xt 700euro sooo and in performance not sure what games you playing but you can check video on YT how they compare
