Hi all,

Built this system summer 2016 on somewhat of a budget. Looking at potentially upgrading if its worth it, or holding off and saving for a new more powerful system.

CPU: Intel Core i5 6400 @ 2.70GHz
RAM: Kingston Hyper X DDR4-2133 Memory MOBO: ASRock H110M-HDV
GPU: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (EVGA)
Storage : 223GB PNY CS1311 240GB SSD (SSD) & 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1SB102 (SATA)
PSU: EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze

Current System: https://uk.************.com/user/Inkss/saved/#view=2PJRGX

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Cheers

Predominately gaming, has been used for video editing sporadically. At the moment, it is mainly gaming.
Any recommendations, I was thinking a long the lines of 1060? Potentially parts that are futureproof for when Icelake release.

Currently 1920x1080 @ 60HZ, but currently looking at upgrading that soon. Looking at ultrawides 2560x1080 @ 100hz+, so anything that would handle that would be nice.

For 1080P a GTX1060 6GB or RX580 8GB are perfect, go higher say 1440P and its GTX1070+ time.

If you upgrade the screen then get a 144Hz or greater one, makes all the difference in games it really does.

If you can get Gsync or Freesync also then even better.
