How much do I need to put aside/what should I be looking at?

Yeah, that make sense. The 980Ti is still probably overkill for 1080p I guess.






Yeah, damn it! I was a bit on the fence with regards to a case upgrade, but now I've seen that Dark Base Pro 900 I really want it! Best looking case I've seen, well... perhaps ever!

Getting quite excited about the upgrade now. It's been so long since I've built a PC for myself!

So thinking now: wait until Ryzen refresh comes out, get either that or Z390 + 8700k,whichever is best (plus possibly the sexy BeQuiet! case!) and then keep whatever funds are left for Volta and a potential monitor upgrade. Sounds good... roll on March!

Can't beat the excitement of building a new system after a long wait :D

I'd go for an 8700k I think and a shiny new case. Keep your 980ti for now, still a great card. Wait for Volta and save some more pennies :)
 
even just a case and rebuilding your current system so it has a fresh is a nice feeling- another attempt to get cabling spot on , or to invert if you've never had the chance to build a unit like that- something to admire for a few year before another change every 8 years - how often I changed mine
 
Bit of an addendum to my first post - thinking of overall budget/system, and since I may well have some wriggle room in terms of funds, should I be looking at an NVMe SSD as well for OS drive? Would I notice any real improvements over my current SSD?

Only really on benchmarks.

Real world performance not really noticeable from what I understand.
