PC Upgrade suggestions/guidance
I'm looking for suggestions on upgrading my Win 10 PC. Do you think anyone would recommend improvements so I can boost performance and play most current games?
You might have mentioned your specifications during the build process like this:
CPU, CPU cooler, Motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, Chassis, OS, Monitor.
Please add the age of the PSU along with its brand and model. Also, provide the BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
You're currently using a 4th Gen HEDT era platform. Your report should focus on the information requested in this thread: *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*.
*How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*
Initially, it's important to acknowledge the proper context—this adaptation comes from the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* post. I developed it since many users are seeking upgrade guidance both here and on CPU forums, and I believe...
You own an i7 4930k and a GTX 780.

What is your budget?
As above, list the make/model of all of your parts.
In an easy to read form.
Something like the case, for example can likely be reused.
At what resolution do you intend to run?
Do you favor fast action games, multiplayer games, sims, strategy or mmo type games.
Do you have a need for large amounts of ram?
At any price point, Intel and amd processors have similar performance.
Ditto on nvidia/radeon graphics cards.
Do you have a preference.
Unless necessary immediately, I'd hold off until the Ryzen 9000 reviews are released. They're planned for launch in July.
