Should i upgrade my current computer or buy a new one completely?

[Noah M]

Hello! I want to start to play more graphically intensive games on the PC. I did not know if I should just upgrade my parts or straight up buy a new computer. If I were to buy a new computer it would cost around $1930. If I were to just upgrade parts I would probably have to buy a new GPU, CPU, PSU, and probably the mother board (All good gaming level components). What do you think I should do?

Without knowing the parts it is not possible to give good advice. However with so many bits being changed, I think I'd prefer to get a new one and sell the old one to re-coop some of the expense.

Sounds silly, $1930 is overkill, I can get you a 1080 Ti system for less.
Current system specs?
Monitor situation?

Here, top of the line for 1500.
I recommend a 4k 60Hz monitor with this.
Ryzen's performance is on par with a 7700k now at non-1080p resolutions, and has twice the threads meaning its lifespan will be much longer.
