For a graphics card, if you want to stay with ASUS, this one sounds like it would last you for a while (RTX 2080):

Okay, it may be a bit overpowered for Saints Row 2. Perhaps something more modest...
It came with a quad core Pentium with a cooler mounted on it.I recommend getting a quad-core, so narrow down the search for the "Core 2 quads" or "Core 2 extremes" maybe.
Yeah definitely too overpowered for SR2 but might not be too much for maybe AOM, Fallout 76 or even Skyrim SE?Okay, it may be a bit overpowered for Saints Row 2. Perhaps something more modest...
Running any socket LGA775 processor with a GPU that fast would cause "bottle-necking." The processor won't be able to keep-up with the GPU, thus the potential of the card is wasted. People worry about this because they could be spending more money for essentially the same performance as if they got a slower card for less.Yeah definitely too overpowered for SR2 but might not be too much for maybe AOM, Fallout 76 or even Skyrim SE?
Uhmm, that will be a bit of a problem, an Intel i7 8700k is not supported with that motherboard.if you are going to upgrade to a top tier processor very soon (example: Intel i7 8700k)
well, yes, deciding on a processor from another generation will often require a whole new chipset (CPU, MOBO, RAM).Uhmm, that will be a bit of a problem, an Intel i7 8700k is not supported with that motherboard.
In that case:I just assume I'll save my money and order me a newer motherboard that will support an Intel I7 Core 9 CPU. Or maybe a AMD Mobo that supports the new Ryzen CPU.
