So I'm thinking I might upgrade my gear around Black Friday. The bulk of what I have is 6 years old now, with GPU and monitor upgraded 3 years ago.
Have now:
Tower: Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl
PSU: Corsair HX 650W PSU
MB: ASUS P8P67 PRO B3, Socket-1155
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Processor
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5" SSD
HDD2: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB
Monitor: AOC 24" LED G-Sync g2460Pg (1080, 144hz, g-sync)
Budget is kind of whatever, I can afford it. But I'm kind of a jew and won't bother paying out the ear for the latest & greatest unless it saves me money in the long run. I also don't give a shit if I get 250 or 200 fps or if I have a gazillion pixels. I just want stable 100+ fps in everything at a reasonable resolution. 1080 has served me well, but I guess it would be better to spec for 1440 or higher if I'm upgrading anyway.
Ideally I want to use the new rig for 5 years without upgrading much other than GPU.
1. Is this a good time to buy?
2. What should I get?
3. Is it worth buying everything new so I can sell the old rig complete? It does play everything, after all.
Any tips would be appreciated.
edit: Oh yeah, the SSD is kinda new so I'd probably keep that and shove my old 150gb in there.
