[SOLVED] My Current Setup (what should I upgrade?)

[khavens]

Hey all, if you feel like taking 30 secs to read over my current setup and tell me if there's anything major I should upgrade to get better performance (I play all games at 1440p with a 144 hz monitor), that'd be great I get decent frames now but I'm wondering what I'll have to upgrade first as games become more and more taxing.

Short answer is you are good. From the look of your system your a poweruser. Most games will run on i5 CPUs. To save typing I had this on page bookmarked for one of my friends which has close to your system specs. I think it can answer your question.
