Ok heres the dealo..i have 'round $700 to use and Im wondering what to do? I already built my own computer with decent specs (look on my profile for details), so theres no use building a new one, BUT im not opposed to making upgrades specifically in the graphics department if you catch my drift (*cough cough* GTX 1060-1070 or RX VEGA).... or I could buy a console, ( I have a 4K tv but I dunno bout the Xbox one X yet cause It just doesnt seem worth it), buy a new phone, or save the money for later use. What to do???

 

Thanks

Depends on your monitor...

 

Wait!

 

Are you using the TV?

I mean, I do that in college.  I'll hook my laptop up to it and play games on that.

If I'm understanding the specs correctly, you're using a GTX 750?  Normally I'd say upgrade that and then save the rest, but I'd wait since RX Vega is right around the corner.

You should probably consider upgrading those too, with a GPU to use it.
