Hello!
CURRENT PC:
(Ram) Corsair Vengeance 24 GB ( 6 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Intel Core i7 SDRAM CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9

(CPU) Intel i7 990x @ 3.47GHz
(MOBO) EVGA X58 SLI
(Monitor) LG 34UC80-B 34 Ultrawide 60Hz
1. Budget & Location
USA. $1000-$1500, will spend more over time to get my system to current tech.
2. Aim
Ultra settings in 2020 games, faster load times, the highest frames, 4K ultra wide capable,and to be able to use a secondary 1080 monitor for maps and such while playing games in windowed.TL;DR best experience available.
3. Monitors
Happy with the one I have until reasonable priced HDR/OLED 144Hz/high frames comes to ultra wide, but if i'm being stupid please let me know
4. Peripherals
Headset maybe?? I'm using a CORSAIR Void PRO currently. Would like something more isolating.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I built my PC back in 2011 and I haven't felt the need to upgrade until now but I'm playing with the idea now. I FEEL(?) like upgrading from a Reeeaaaallly old SATA SSD to a M.2 PCIE storage for boot drive and most played games would help with load times but for that I think I need to change my motherboard and CPU? I know my GPU is something I want to replace unless there's a reason to wait, I'm unsure if I would want to wait a whole year though.
Any input would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. I'm still running windows 7, time to upgrade. What version of 10 should I get presuming there's a paywall for ram/hardware? (like windows 7). Also I have a case and power supply
