asus Cerberus 1050ti

coolermaster h500p

Upgrading to a better GPU should be your next upgrade though if you do that I'd also advise a better PSU.

Hey Thomas, 

 

Looks like you have a pretty strong build already. I see that you have an 8th gen CPU and a 1060 which, at the moment, are still up there in gaming terms. I also see you only have a 512gb SSD. Maybe get some form of additional storage, NvMe, normal ssd or just a HDD. It just allows you to get more stored! You could upgrade to a better GPU if you wanted but its your choice.

What PSU would you recommend?
