I have two computers:
One OLD AMD fx-6100 build with 16gb DDR3 ram and a rattling GTX 560, serving as my old HTTP computer
One newer i7 4770k build with 16gb DDR3 ram, a slightly better GTX 770 2GB, in a tower case for another room.
I have some money to spend now, but don't know what to do with it.
Knowing that my HTTP is so old, I am tempted to upgrade it to an i7 7700k (I already have 8gb spare DDR4), new motherboard. Then leave upgrading the GPU to later. This would sort this machine out for several years, although I don't game on it much so don't use need its power too often.
OR for similar money I could buy a new GPU like a GTX 1070 and upgrade my already better machine, to ensure my 1080p gaming is good to go for the next couple of years.
What would you do? I game every now and then but don't get loads of time for it, but on the other hand, I rarely need the living room PC to be a powerhouse. Ideas?
