    New system build after 4+ years

    Got The Upgrade Bug...

    I am looking to do an upgrade on my current build. I was thinking about upgrading mainly the GPU or CPU or perhaps both. If I can get away with upgrading my GPU only that would be nice to save some cash, but I'd be willing to upgrade the CPU as well if it makes sense. Here is my current...
