Hello , This is my first time upgrading parts for my Gaming PC that ive owned for more than 5 years,i took a step away from gaming for a while but decided to come back to the scenes,The games usually play are HearthStone,SC2,WoW,Overwatch,Amnesia,GTA V,DOTA 2,and a few other Steam games....my Goal is to catch up to todays modern tech upgrades as well to run todays high end games coming out, and which upgrades are worth upgrading now & which to postpone on till theres a better upgrade or gets older...money is not a problem as long as its worth the price of the upgrade for it and notice a differece in upgrade.
I also plan on using my PC to connect to the TV for occasional Multiplayer games,the PC Would be connected to a 55 samsung 4k ultra HD curved
Further more maybe as well thinking of investing in the Oculus Rift in the future.
