I'm looking to improve my setup.
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz (6 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
System Model: MS-7B33
Memory: 16384MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
EVGA 600w bronze
Assuming all parts were at retail cost, what would you consider the most value-packed system?
First focus on the GPU, then the CPU.
Budget is $1000.

with the system in place, it's wiser to hold off until the first quarter of 2021. We're facing shortages and steep prices for all items, especially new GPUs and CPUs. Give it a month or two.

What is the speed and setup of the 2x8GB RAM?
Which specific PSU model are you using?
What adjustments are you looking for? Increased FPS, elevated game settings, or greater resolution?
Which games do you typically play?
What is the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor?

Assuming each part was sold at its retail cost.

Great Q PSU, just a bronze + setup.
Corsair 16GB RAM.
Aim for 144 FPS and 1080p.
Need to run AAA games.
