Hello everyone,my last PC upgrade was about 5 years ago (except GPU + PSU which I bought last year). So now I'm interested if there would be any sense if I upgrade to something new,for e.g: new board,pcu,ddr4 etc...


My PC:

 

GPU - R9 390 Nitro
CPU - Intel 3570K + Corsair A70 cooler
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600 X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
HDD - 3TB + 1TB / SSD - Crucial MX100 256GB
PSU - EVGA 750 G2
Case - be quiet! - Silent Base 800 + NZXT Sentry Fan controller

 

I don't do editing or rendering,just gaming and full HD movie watching. I game on big 55 inch 60Hz monitor and getting 60-100fps in games with no problem (sometimes just tweaking anti-aliasing settings for smooth fps)

I suspect there is no need in upgrading now,since I have 60Hz monitor,but I just have these inexplicable feeling to upgrade once in several years + I think I need new cooler which will be much quiet that my current one (any advice here?) but if there would be NO noticeable sense,I'll wait... Just this upgrade itch became stronger with new ryzen pcu-s and  gtx 1080 pricing politics...

Thanks everyone in advance :)

P.S Maybe first upgrading to 4K monitor and afterwards upgrading other tech ? (including GPU)....

PSU - EVGA 750 G2   ///   Case - be quiet! - Silent Base 800   ///   Corsair A70 Cooler

i would also think about adding another 8 gbs of ram, but you are imho ok for 1080 gaming, maybe also think about getting a bigger ssd so you can put your games on it. If you want a 4k setup i recommend getting 16gbs of ram anf maybe upgrading to a 1080 ti if you have money burning in your pocket

So as I understand,no sense in upgrading for 1080 gaming and only solution for me is to step-up to 4k gaming ? ..
