As per title,
Contemplating an upgrade or two, but wondering how big a difference upgrading the main system would make.
One option is to build a new Mini ITX system for myself, as listed below? (Not sure on case, probably a new PSU too. but making do with my old 1080p BenQ for a few more months.
Or would I be better off keeping what I have and buying the Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Strix OC Gaming and a new IPS 1440 or 4k monitor?
