Hello, any advice is much appreciated. This was my first PC build 4-5 years ago and served me well up until recently with advancing requirements. Upgrading because of framerate issues and like to look at pretty ultra graphics on my games. Play Witcher 3, Fallout76, Planetside 2, CRPG's.
I am showing a lot of heavy HD usage at boot and other intermittent times .. 100% usage.
I'm also excited for future games like Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim 2, Starfield...to a much lesser extent Star Citizen...I have a pretty large CoolerMaster case with lots of room.
