What should I upgrade first?

Hello everyone,

I just made an account on this website so I could make this thread, and I would like to know what I should upgrade first!

I will be upgrading my monitor very soon, probably in February, to this monitor (that's if I don't find a better deal!): Samsung S25HG50 Black (24,5", some websites say 25" but I don't know what the correct one is 😛)

My specs:
-Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H (Intel H110 chipset)
-CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 (Quad core @3,3GHz, it can boost to 3,9GHz)
-GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3GB (not the LE one)
-RAM: Kingston DDR4 HyperX Fury 2x4GB 2133MHz
-PSU: Cooler Master B500 ver.2 (500W)

This build is basically only for gaming, I do use it for watching YouTube videos and such, but gaming is the main purpose. Now I'm a 15 year old so I don't have the most overkill system, but I don't want/need to have that. So keep in mind that I won't be buying RAM for 200 euro 😛.

Thanks in advance!

Since you are going for 144Hz monitor, the obvious 1st upgrade would be GPU - but right now buying GPU in sensible price is next to impossible.

I saw some articles about that, prices skyrocketed because of people that are cryptomining... kind of sad to see, people that want to get into PCs or PC gaming will have to wait for the market to calm down again :/
