You'll be better off building a new one with a 1080 and like a r7 1700 or 8th gen i7

Should 100% upgrade if you're looking into streaming.


Probably to a Ryzen Refresh 8 core, should be out by then.

Wouldn't bother planning anything now unless you really want a certain case.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

What's your monitor set up? If it's 1080p 60hz an RX 570/580 1060 6GB is fine

Right but you aren't going to game across 2 monitors so that doesn't matter
