Hi Folks,
I have a hankering to upgrade (budget of about 2K)
Should I wait and see or go for it ?

Current PC spec in sig, it runs most stuff I play reasonably well (at 1920 x 1200)
 
Hi Folks,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I have 2 x 120G SSD's , 1 x 2TB WD black HD and 3 x 500G samsung HD's
 
I wouldn't bother upgrading, it sounds like you just have money burning a whole in your pocket, rather than a "My PC isn't doing xyz, and I'd like it to"

Upgrade when you want to do something that your PC can't do, or when it feels slower than you'd like.

How about spending the money on a home server instead? You could do it for a hell of a lot less than £2k, but it would be an interesting, different-to-your-pc project if you've got an itch to play with some hardware? Plus it could actually fulfil a purpose :)

Other than that, a nice AV Receiver and decent 5.1 or 7.1 sound setup would be a great upgrade: good sound can really improve the gaming "experience", plus music and movie watching. £1000 will get you a nice setup here.

Then next year grab a 4K monitor and a AMD 300 series card, and job done. Your PC will be fine for at least another year or so.

I already have a home server and media PC
Got an awesome large screen tv (in lving room) with a pretty decent receiver and speaker set-up

I was considering a decent 3D screen but dunno if it would work well with most of the games I play (flight sims , a lot of DCS world)
