Hello guys I have been pondering with my rig recently it has not been changed recently, I have two new 1440p monitors ready to set up at University when I arrive this weekend.

Which means life as a student will mean I have to be careful with my money and what not and I want your honest opinions on my rig if I should be considering touching or upgrading

anything. Many thanks

What I would do is wait and see. If you're having issues with the current GPU keeping up it's easy enough to order another one. But I think the only difference really is the clock and memory type. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe get an NVME SSD and if you are playing at 1440p at greater than 60 Hz/FPS I would upgrade to an 1080ti

Since Titan X = 1070 in performance, I would only recommend an upgrade with 4K.

EDIT: and 1440p 100hz+
