Looking to do a new build

[OracleKen]

I am looking to do a new build and am looking for advice.

 

My current rig:

My main question is, with the rig I have now should I just update what I have or start new? If upgrade what should I upgrade?

 

For a brand new build I am not sure if I should do it now (in the next few months) or if I should wait.

 

Any advice would be appreciated! 

 

 

1. Budget & Location

My preferred budget is around $2,000 - $3,000 (in the next few months) or less would be nice too. I am located in the US. 

2. Aim

Gaming and a coding workstation

3. Monitors

I have one 4k Asus ROG monitor and a cheapo ACER 1080p monitor. I would like to switch out the cheapo monitor with a ASUS 1440p high refresh in the furture  

4. Peripherals

I do not need to purchase peripherals and I have access to a Windows 10 key so that is not needed 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I want to be able to game at higher fps and or res

CPU and motherboard if anything.

you can just swap the CPU/ram/mobo for a ryzen 1600 and be done with it.

Would you recommend just using the stock cooler or getting a new one or just reuse the one I have?

Just grab a Ryzen 8 core or 1950X if you want 16 cores on the cheap, the 1950X is going to involve a new case and power supply as well.

Wait for next generation GPUs to come out and then upgrade to whatever is faster than a 1080ti
