Wanting to upgrade but unsure if I should.

I am familiar with parts and all that fun stuff but not so much compatibility and even if my current build should even be upgraded yet. was hoping some guru out there who knows more than I do about current stuff to help out and all.

If you using 1080p monitor, that setup is just fine to run all the games mostly at high and ultra settings. No need to upgrade unless u have a 1440p or high refresh rate like 120 or 144hz monitor

Yea ive got the 1080 monitor didnt bother with the higher refresh rate ones though. Thanks for the feedback though! May jus put more ram and another hard drive in for now make it more speedy. Saved me bunch of headache trying to research new parts n errything!

16gb is plenty for gaming .No need of more than 16 gb .if u want to speed up pc boot time and load applications and game loading time faster u can buy an SSD .Install the OS and Games u play in SSD for faster loading but it doesn't increase gaming performance tho
