Hi All,

I'm looking to see if there's anything worthwhile (Newegg or Amazon) for Cyber Monday which would be a reasonable upgrade for my system. I've attached a screenshot of my rig components, +EVO 860 SSD. It was new/midrange build from 2014 and I haven't overclocked it (though I can, i7 is unlocked). This would be mostly for gaming. I don't game much (mostly PoE at this point), but might try my hand at some newer titles next year and would like to avoid a full rebuild for another year or 2. I'll probably do a new build once D4 drops.

Given the current components, does it a) make sense to upgrade the graphics, b) what would be the cost, and c) what's a reasonable performance boost expectation? I'm on 1080p screens. Eventually I would like to get a couple nice 4k screens, but that won't be for some time.

TIA

I'd go for a RX 580 8GB. They are selling for as low as $160 these days, another option would be to go for a used GTX 1070 and that's about it what your CPU(even with overclock) can realistically power without significant bottleneck.
