Hi, I'm pretty much on the same boat as you are. (same CPU, same GPU, etc), and I have the upgrade itch. The fact is so far, for what i do, which is mostly gaming (some streaming as media server for my big ass tv, and some Adobe Lightroom work too), things work mostly fine. I could have better...

Got a PS4 pro in the living room for my kids. So, my 4k 55" tv is taken... my PC is my "castle", if you get my meaning.

After going through a LOT of youtube videos and a few twists and turns my current plan is to wait for Ampere (and or AMD matures it's GPU drivers). Unless Bannerlord comes out unplayable on my rig i think i can wait that long for a lasting upgrade on GPU, and then some new platform (Zen 3?)...

Thank You, Edited and done.

Greetings all, I have currently an unbalanced 5 year old build, an Haswell i7-4790k (top Cpu at the time) i paired with pretty average parts (Asus z-97 K). 16 GB It's 4x4, DDR3 of course, and although it has an M2 slot, it is SATA III, so i have nothing in there and use a 2,5" Crucial M4 SSD +...

Or not. I'm considering upgrading my system next month (was waiting for Haswell to come out). I would like to keep this upgrade under 500 euros. The system is mostly used for gaming, also as a media server, and some Adobe Lightroom. Parts i keep: XFX Core 650W Pro PSU. (Bronze 80+) 24"...

Thank you i'll look into it. I remembered now i also once tried a different GPU, a Radeon Saphire Vapor something and that would give me a blue screen on start up. That card worked fine in another system, later on.
