So my current system is as follows:

"Krypton Baronyx" Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40Ghz @ 4.60Ghz Overclocked Bundle
8Gb Memory
MSI GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
OCZ Vertex 3 240GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive
Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27" Widescreen LED Monitor
Corsair HX 620w

My budget is probably around £2000 and the PC will mainly be used for gaming (Battlefield / Anthem etc)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

looking for new case? if not whats your case ?

looks like monitor is 1440p IPS 60hz non sync screen

PSU is tier B (2018)/ Tier 2 so still a good one though guessing out of warranty?
 
You could double the memory (minimum) update the GFX card and maybe add a better/faster/larger SSD to that.

But with a 2k budget you could buy a whole new system (though the performance increase over the upgrade might not justify such a large budget)

Case is an Akasa Eclipse 62
Should I sell the monitor and get 2 new replacements (any advice on this)?
PSU is out of warranty now I think yes.
 
Here are a couple of suggestions if you want to go down the new system route.


Intel 9700K and Vega 64 with 27" 1440p 144Hz Freesync screen.


My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,936.12 (includes shipping: £15.30)
​



Same as above but with a Ryzen R7 2700X cpu and X470 board.

You could always stick with your current Dell screen if 144Hz isn't important to you.


As mentioned by the Guys above you could easily just swap out a few things (GPU, Case and PSU and add extra Ram etc) and keep most of your current system intact.
