What to upgrade next?...

[tuckerstuffer_69]

So, I hope to keep this short and sweet. I have here a link of my computer specs from CPUID/CPU-Z - Link below

I'm just wondering what is my next step in upgrading my PC (Gaming). I hope that this here will be enough information to get things rolling. Also I'm Canadian too, stinks for buying parts and stuff. But! Any feedback would be great. Thanks in advanced~

For gaming their not much that would be worth the price.
You could upgrade the video card but with the current prices it's a bad time to buy a video card.

In what way is your pc not doing the job?

My suggestion is to buy a wide screen higher resolution monitor.
Keep the old as a side monitor for performance monitors or email and such.

On graphics, your 4790K is perfectly capable of running a stronger graphics card like a GTX1070ti or GTX1080ti.

I might abandon raid-0 in favor of a pcie ssd. Raid-0 will show well in sequential benchmarks, but will usually lose in actual performance which tends to be random.

I have a 55" LG TV running at 120hz - I use that for my computer needs.

As far as where my computer is not keeping up, is with games like Ark, sometimes Starcraft 2. Just trying to run some games maxxed out is just not doing it for me. I would assume that my next option would be to get myself a new GPU. I've been looking and with taxes soon, I am looking forward to buying something... Just not 100% sure what to even consider.

You would need to buy at least a GTX 1070 to be a decent video card upgrade. Again this is a very bad tie to buy a card your going to pay 700 bucks for a 320 buck card.
