I have an 8 year old gaming rig which I'm satisfied with mostly, but I'd like to upgrade it so I can play on higher quality.
Here are the parts of the current rig: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PdG8tg
I want to keep what can be kept and replace as few parts as possible while aiming for the new rig to also last me as much (maybe with just a video card upgrade down the road as was the case with my current system which initially had a Geforce 570).
Right now I can pretty much play any game on medium (QHD resolution) but I feel that lately I had to go under medium. I play on the highest settings that yield >60 fps, I can't play with less than that.
Basically I'm interested in maximizing my bang for the buck and I haven't been keeping up with gaming hardware so please help.
Budget would be about $1500, I only need this PC for gaming.
Also, does it make sense to wait for the next gen CPU's/GPU's?
