hi guys, should i upgrade now or wait. I mainly game Siege fps games etc.
Could i use my current monitor as second and get a new one.

Gigabyte Z370P D3 MOBO
Super Flower Leadex III 550W 80 PLUS Gold
Intel Core i5 9400F 2.9ghz
Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 6144MB GDDR5

Acer Predator XF270HBMJDPRZ 27" FREESYNC 144Hz

budget 1000/1500
 
I would say just get a 9700/9900 & RX 6700 or 3060 Ti, but the i7-9700 seems to still be way overpriced used, with the 9700K going for £200 and the 9900K for £300 on the auction site :o

Still, I do think there's a bit of life left in the 9400F, so you could just buy a graphics card and slot that in.

For a full upgrade, it's not a bad time, but if you can hold on until January, the Intel B boards and non-K CPUs and AMD non-X CPUs are supposed to be launching and it's likely they will be better value than what you have to choose from now, particularly the 7600/7700 non-X and 13400.
