Looking to buy new PC

[martheli]

Hello everyone, my current PC is a CyberPower PC from around 6-7 years ago that includes an AMD radeon HD 7900 series GPU and an i7 3000 series CPU. I play mostly Blizzard games, HOTS, WoW, Overwatch..etc so nothing super graphically intensive but I am getting around 20-40 FPS in WoW with a lot of lag spikes due to the old GPU that I have and was looking at maybe upgrading it to a gtx 1060 but due to the massive price increases of GPUs I was thinking it might be better value to just get a new computer. I do not want to buy a new GPU and then if I start getting into 4k gaming don't have the option to use SLI due to my old motherboard and non compatible GPU with the gtx1060.

I was looking at getting another CyberPower PC with brand name parts to include a motherboard with SLI support for future 4k gaming and a gtx1080 Ti. Below is what I had in mind; price comes to around $2800. I know the general consensus is to build vs buy from CyberPower but have never done a full PC build before and am not sure how much money I would even save since these parts seem to be fairly expensive anyways.

I cant see spending all that money for a might move up to a 4K monitor in the future.
By the time you move to that the newest video cards might be ready for 4K with a single card.

I would build my owe, get a friend to help, or get a local shop to build it.
For the games you listed this would work fine and has some overkill on the power supply for upgrades.
Saves you 1K even if you pay a shop a hundred bucks to build it for you.
