My current build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/SmartenUp/saved/#view=jKP6hM

 

I mostly play games like ARMA3, CSGO, League of Legends, Shadow of Mordor, and I will be picking up the new BF soon.

Things I think  I should upgrade: PSU, HDD, Monitor(s) for 4k, GPU, Case.

 

Suggestions welcome.

I would say to upgrade in this order: PSU, HDD, GPU, Monitor, Case.

 

Sidenote: CSGO on 4K? Plz no

M8, for those games 1060/1070 should be fine for 4k

I would recommend a 144hz monitor as well as a 1070. get a 1tb western digital black hdd. New psu and case is up to your preference.

Nothing wrong with PSU. Is plenty enough for single card build, so unless you really notice issues with your PSU why spend on something that ain't broken. Similar for drives, but if you need more storage thats up to you.

 

I would start for GPU and screen, or case if you already know something you like. Would suggest going 1080 or maybe TI if it releases for your 4k ideas. Unless you think you won't play new titles for the comming years :)

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

I do not plan to SLI. So I think that PSU, like you said is fine until it breaks.

I wouldn't mind getting somewhere between 2TB - 4TB of HDD storage space. Suggestions?

As for the GPU, I was thinking 1070 if I decide to game lightly, or the 1080/ti if I go balls deep again. I think that decision will be made at the checkout phase.

Case... yeah I will need to do some research on that myself I guess. 

Monitors... I was thinking one of these two: 

1) http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/philips-philips-43-4k-uhd-60hz-5ms-gtg-ips-led-monitor-bdm4350uc-black-silver-bdm4350uc/10424421.aspx?path=4038837e347e67872eb004c5abb41738en02

 

2) http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/philips-philips-40-4k-uhd-60hz-3ms-gtg-va-led-monitor-bdm4065uc-silver-black-bdm4065uc/10381634.aspx?path=7b3a49ddfc8803caa8d51776fda5f8eeen02

 

Or can anyone suggest a solid 4K monitor?
