Hi, this is my first post. I need help deciding what my next upgrade will be. My bday is in late April, so anything would be helpful regarding things coming out that month. I have a pretty decent asus monitor. 1080p, 60 hz and the like. 6700k, GTX 970, 8 gb hype x ram, WB blue hdd. No ssb btw. Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

SSD; going from my HDD booting to my SSD is like a work of God.  I used to be able to literally turn my PC on, go brush my teeth and it would still be booting up when I got back a minute or two later.  With my SSD I barely look away and it's already waiting for my slow human bone sack to login.

i5 12600k | ASRock Z690M-ITX | 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz | EVGA 2080 Super Black | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB + 980 1TB | Corsair RMx 650W | Thermaltake Tower 100 White

SSD makes a big diiference, so buy an SSD :)

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

Thanks for all the quick replies guys. I also think the ssd is a good choice. Besides ssd however, anything else you guys recommend? I also didn't add that I have the gigabyte LGA 1151 sniper board. Was considering getting an Asus mobo like Maximus or rampage, but I think it's smarter to wait until I get the X99 build I want to go with the asus mobo. Any other suggestions?
