So i sold a bunch of stuff and got some money laying around. My current PC has the following.

 

CPU: 6700k

GPU: strixx 1080ti oc

BOARD: Asus z170 pro gaming

RAM: Corsair LPX, 32gb 3200Mhz

PSU: Corsair 800w

 

One thing I will be upgrading is my storage, but would you guys upgrade the Motherboard?

No. Any further upgrades of the CPU will need a new mobo anyway, so upgrade that at the same time as your CPU.

 

What model is that PSU?

not really, unless you want to upgrade to kopi lake. if you need usb type-c or other features the mobo doesn't have then look for pci-e adaptors instead.

I’d have to check the model, I got it with the case from a friend. Might be a older one, and I’ve been thinking about getting a modular one and replacing this one, I will check when I get home

Gold rated PSU and that's about it. Should be about 90 bucks minus the money you get if you sell yours
