Upgrade advice please

[dempy19]

Hello everyone,

So I'm looking to purchase a new monitor in the next month or so that's 27", 1440p with at least 144hz, IPS, 1 MS response time and low input lag.

That being said, I'm looking for advice on whether or not I need to or should upgrade to make my rig last for a while. Here are my components that I have currently.

i5-4670k @4.1GHz
Asus Maximus VI Formula
Asus GTX 780 DCUIIOC x2 in SLI
16GB G.Skill 1866MHz CL9
Corsair H100i
Samsung 840 PRO 256 GB
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
WD Black 1TB

Now my budget is approximately around $1000 CAD. If no upgrades are necessary then even better, I just want to make sure I'm getting the best performance I can get with what I've got. I would really appreciate your help and recommendations!

Thank you in advance!

Probably could get gtx 1070 for that 1440p other than that your hardware is fine.

I would wait and run benchmarks on your existing build, when you get the new monitor. Just keep in mind, your upgrade path will be more frequent with a 1440p monitor as opposed to 1080p. Especially if you like to run on ultra settings. If I were you, unless you upgrade your graphics hardware relgularly, i'd stay with 1080p. I've seen an intel core i7 build with a gtx 1080 have significant frame dips on gta v, a game that's more than 2 years old. Nvidia/amd simply doesn't have strong enough hardware out on the market, to play games on ultra settings at a high resolution. If you upgrade to 1440p, you'll notice your existing graphics hardware will outdate quicker than regular 1080p hd.
