Hello. I have approx. 850 bucks to spend on a gaming PC upgrade and am wondering what other game players think.
My system: I7 4790K 4GHZ, lga1150 MB, 32 gigs memory, half tb SSD, 2 tb Sata, EVGA GTX 1060 video card.
The recommended requirements for playing Wolfenstein 2 are pretty much my system. Future games will eclipse this.
What would you upgrade?
Thank you for your help and involvement.
 
Solution
At 4K a gpu is a much better upgrade choice. The 1060 is not normally considered powerful enough for 4K unless you sacrifice game settings or only run less demanding games. A stronger gpu would allow you to turn up game settings.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I am running a 65 inch Samsung 4 k at 66Hz. My indecision is because I can't decide whether it would be advantageous to go to an LGA 1151 MB, new CPU and mem vs a GTX 1080 video card. (finding a great deal, of course.) I have no issues running games right now, just trying to make a decision. Wish all of life's decision were so enjoyable...
Thank You!
