So I've been thinking of upgrading my PC, but since I'm still a PC noob I'm still not sure what to buy, its good and everything but on somethings it lacks power, any ideas?

 

Here are my current tech specs:

MOBO: ASUS Maximus VI Formula

CPU: Intel I7-4770K @ 3.50GHz

RAM: Corsair Vengance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 @ 1600MHz

GPU: GTX 780

PSU: Corsair AX1200i

If I had to upgrade something, it'd be the GPU. I'd probably wait for new releases, though.

Buy a 40" 4k display and upgrade your GPU when the new next gen stuff comes out

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
