Additional Comments: Was looking at a Geforce 1080Ti as a GPU but I am a bit noobish when it comes to upgrading. Can my CPU and PSU handle it or will it bottleneck? Also will i benefit from a SSD and move my OS to the SSD. Am I able to move my OS to the SSD without having to do a reinstall?
Also when would I have to upgrade my motherboard? or

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want to upgrade because my system was made about 4/5 years ago and feel it needs a bit of TLC

Change PSU to a better unit. You will always benefit from using an SSD, saves a lot of time in boot up(and in troubleshooting and OS situations). If you decide to go for a new CPU, you're going to have to part ways in order to look for a new board, ram and CPU. That will not leave much for your SSD, GPU and PSU.

I think it will work pretty well....but I wouldn't go much higher with the GPU.
I think you are near the limit with that CPU with a 1080 Ti.

Thank you for the reply.
At that point, I may as well get a new system with warranty from somewhere.

Thank you for the reply. I think I may just consider a new system with a better CPU and GPU and PSU and motherboard.
