Upgrade or Start from Scratch

[zLukez]

Currently my specs for my computer are i7 2600, 8gb ram, GTX 760 4GB, 2TB Storage, 430w power supply. Should I upgrade? and what exactly should I upgrade. Or should I build a new one. (My budget would be $1150 USD) I already have a monitor (just 1). I mostly use for gaming, web browsing, watching Youtube, etc. I already have peripherals (Razer Blackwidow Ultimate, Logitech G502, and SONY MDR-XB50 for audio)

I'm assuming 1080P gaming? Do you have the time to build a new one?

What about your current setup aren't you liking?

The 2700 is still a decent processor. Do you run an ssd?

I don't have an SSD. So it's kind of slow -ish

[zLukez]

Well it's just a budget although it may fluctuate since I'm not building it immediately. Somewhere super early in 2016 probably. Just want to think ahead.

So my build could work! owo You have the time to adjust the budget, and you'd be getting that super nummy 980

Well multiprocessing is faster, and sometimes you're going to need that like to graphic designing (3d, etc.)

Well for all I know it might be 1.4k or down to something like 800

[Kenji the Uke]

That's the OP that you quoted. Don't know why he defended my decision to add the i7.
