I'd at least wait for the AMD 3000 (Zen 3?) series before upgrading, but at 1080p you should be good for a few years.

im happy as long as there is a followup to the 1050TI tbh

also lightly better peripherals(genuine cherry switches)

Remember that cold temperatures can greatly reduce battery life. Also, reflection of the sun off snow can make it very bright.

What resolution are you playing at? What games? Why is your RAM speed so low?

No Dark Souls?
No Overwatch?
No Metal Gear Solid 5 TPP?
The Division is a must play?
Far Cry Primal is being recommended?
CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS IS A MUST PLAY?
 
My recommended games would be
CoD 4: MW
CoD MW2
CoD Nazi Zombies
Minecraft
Dark Souls
Dark Souls 3
Skyrim
Fallout 3
Fallout NV
GTA V
GTA San Andreas
Cuphead
Furi 
Celeste
MGSV : TPP
Goldeneye (N64 emulator)
Trackmania
TF2
DOOM (2016)
Rocket League
AC Black Flag
Dishonored
Far Cry 3
From the Depths
Absolute Drift (if its on sale)
Civilization 5
Portal 2 
HL 2
Left 4 Dead 2
SuperHot
Enter the Gungeon
Titanfall(2) is good but kinda dead IMO
 

I was going to say that these people can burn in hell.
But they're in Australia.. So its kind of already happening.

I agree that Teslas are near impossible to repair like Apple products, but you accuse them of poor build quality when all of them have 5 star safety ratings? 

Or for few $ more, a Cryorig H7. 

I mean you list your antivirus on your specs so I wouldn't take anything you say seriously

That's some fine irony right there.

"I can use the Titan Xs as counterweights"-Linus

I guess "cool" is a relative term, personally I'd say hideous is more apt. Looks like something a 12 year old kid might draw was involved in an explosion at a car modding workshop.

oh no we cant use pricey ultra fast ram sets that rarely have any beneifit(is this true)? at launch

I need to get my eyes checked.

Freedom of speech /= free of social consequence

The only one of those I've experienced is the lag when changing wheels, but when I'm screwing around in menus and tuning it doesn't bother me.  Games runs nice and smooth when I'm actually driving, even on a computer that's way too old for that game.

Before even trying to sell your rig, which is still quite powerful, you should wait and see whether Zen actually performs better enough to warrant selling a whole PC for. Honestly a 4790K is still a great CPU today (delid it for more clocks :D), and Zen is unlikely to bring something worlds better for gaming. Maybe a bit better.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading laptop CPUs, even if you can replace it. It would throw off cooling/battery life if you could replace it, but most CPU are soldered to the mobo itself.

At best*
It's going to be more than that.

If you can manage the price, I'd get the x61
