Good day all,
I am looking for advice on as to if i should just upgrade my PC or build a new. I currently have two computers in my office the one i'm asking about and an older one my son games on (i can link information on it if anyone wants to know). If I upgrade he sticks with ol'reliable if I go new lucky kid seeing as how my girlfriend doesn't game ?(any tips on that to lol).
1. Budget & Location: My budget will be around $1,000 US and it can be stretched out over a few months i know black Friday is around the corner.
2. Aim: My aim is to step up in the gaming i really enjoy games such as ARK and would love to unlock the potential of the game. Also looking into ARMA 3 and games of that nature.
3. Monitors: I generally use 2 monitors both 27" 1080p 60Hz willing to upgrade if PC can handle it. I used to stream maybe will again but now just good old memory hungry Chrome up with music or such.
4. Peripherals: I may update a bit but not important currently using primarily a Razer Orbweaver and a Logitech G770s.
Current build:

Again if i build new kiddo gets this and updates as needed out of his pocket (he's 15 and working lol) he mostly plays ARK and less demanding games but i know he wants to push into more. thank you all again for your time and reading this far and thank you in advance for your ideas.
