Hello,
Been stalking the site for years but decided it was time to join. Admittedly getting older and out of touch with what's available and coming out so I hope I can ask for your assistance. I built my computer 5 years ago and am currently contemplating if it makes sense to temporarily upgrade or just build a new one. It still surprisingly runs well and can tackle most games at pretty high settings yet but I hope you can help me with some recommendations? Give this one a little more life? If so, what makes sense? Or... start new? If so is there anything I shouldn't waste my money on yet? Prefer not to spend more than $1000-$1500 if I don't have to,and with times as they are, preferably less.
Current build (5yrs old)
OS: Windows 10 home 64
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 7
CPU: Intel i7-4790k Quad core 4.0 ghz LGA 1150
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4g
RAM: G.Skill Trident X 16GB DDR3-2400
Power: EVGA Supernova 750W 80 plus Gold
SSD: Samsung 850 pro 256 SataIII
HHD: WD black 2TB 7200
Thanks so much!
