In reading through lots of articles and forums it seems that it may make sense to upgrade my system before year's end. I currently have a new PSU and case (Seasonic Focus+ 650W Gold, and FD Define R6). My next purchase will be a GPU (hopefully a GTX 1080 or 1070 ti)
I am really conflicted regarding which CPU to choose - Intel/AMD. Use will be gaming (Fallout 76, the new Tomb raider, other RPGs) and some photo editing using Adobe Lightroom (my sense is that which ever CPU path I choose, either will be quite ample for LR). Once the CPU is decided upon, MB, RAM, etc can be selected.
Oh, I should mention that I am using a 2560 x 1440 60Hz IPS monitor (Auria EQ276W), but that could be upgraded as well.
Thanks for the advice.
