Why would you post your steam on the thread topic? Don't expect people to go out of their way to help you when you post a half ass lazy post like this without any information at all and just expect people to do everything for you?

this and this is still a really good build, so why is it time to upgrade? Did mummy give you money?

I would keep what you have for about another year or two then upgrade the motherboard, CPU and GPU and i would also look at the PSU to make sure it can handle the new parts.

You're nice. I was just asking people what they think of my specs and if i should upgrade. 

 

To be fair: you didn't ask anything. As I read it: you stated (not asked) that it is time to upgrade (topic title), and just added your specs without any clarification.

 

On topic: I'm still running a GTX680. It's running most games fine, on high/max settings, but with a monitor that has a 144Hz refreshrate, you will have to turn down settings a bit to take full advantage of those 144Hz. 

In your place I would wait some more before upgrading, since I don't care for 144Hz (I have a 1440p 60Hz panel).
