Hey there. New here. Long time watcher of ltt though. 
My current specs

I9 10850k
rtx3080fe
32g ddr4

I'm wanting to build a mini itx for my next pc. I'll be using the tera case. 
I'm wondering if you would pull the trigger on a i7 1400k or if you would wait 
for the 15th gen to come around. 

I'm not in a hurry but I do have an ultrawide monitor on the way. So a bit more 

taxing than my flat 1440p panel. 

Right now I can build out a 14th gen terra case with no gpu for like 1100. 
Starting to wonder if I should have upgraded my pc before getting the Alienware oled I just ordered. 

What would you do? Thanks!!!!

Is this system not doing what you need?

You have a really, really, good system. I would focus on other things like that monitor you want to get, and other peripherals to make life and multitasking easier.

Is the system getting any issues?

If all working fine, I guess u should hold back for awhile.

15th gen cpu and next gen gpu are coming. 

Your rig could play any game with no lag.

I wouldn't personally upgrade if my PC was those specs. I would use it for quite a few more years first.

“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.”

it's enough for the next few years, there's no need to upgrade if your PC can meet your needs, there's no problem if you want to upgrade too
