Desired outcome: productivity (video editing, virtual machines, etc.) and current gaming on the 49" DELL (60 Hertz, OC potential to ~75, I believe). To be frank, I want to also enter the VR arena, so I guess that might mean bring on a new graphics card? What would you do; replace everything or keep any of it? I want a rig to stay with me a while (3+ years) so if the case I have is a good choice for staying current on motherboard sizes, I think I'll just keep it, though RGB and watercooling is a fun splurge I'll go for.
Budget: What is best done (+/- $250) up to $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000?
I currently have everything on this list
