Fancy some upgrades: where to use?

[James Pacey]

Hi all,

I've come into some cash and have been toying with upgrading my GPU, however on reflection, I think I'd like to look at some broader upgrade possibilities.

I wonder what your suggestions might be? Current specs are below.

With thanks,

James

I thinka budget of c £1500. 4K gaming are the plans. Notice some modern games at max settings are starting to struggle a bit.

Thanks all for your thoughts.

Regarding the 2 GB, I realise this is an error on Speccy's part.

I think I'll stick to the GPU for now, ideally a 4080. However, I'm not sure a) which one I can go with with my motherboard (ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING) and b) whether I can fit one in my case or if I need to get new cooling? I believe I have a Fractal Design Meshify C Case.
