My current system:
Operating System: Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
Motherboard: Dell Optiplex 7010 MT [LGA-1155 motherboard Q77 chipset.]
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz [4 Cores - 8 Threads]
GPU: Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Mini
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 4x8GB 32GB [9-9-9-24 @1333 MHz]
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB [OS = SATA III]
SSD: Kingston A400 120GB [Installed/Portable Programs = SATA III]
HDD: Western Digital Black Performance 6 TB [Games - SATA II]
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB [Storage - SATA II]
PSU: Generic 950W Non-Modular
Question
So, looking at these specifications, should I upgrade half of my PC? I would port the drives and the GPU, and would have to buy a new motherboard, tower, CPU, PSU and RAM. I guess my real question is - would upgrading my processor further make a huge difference in gaming? Or should I wait a few years?
More Information:
When I first made this system, I was learning. This was my starter build. I used a PC I already had. I know now about the modular + generic PSU issues, the processor overclocking on a DELL motherboard. Although, I'm glad I only paid about $150 for it. I also recently learned about RAM timings, what this motherboard can support, etc.
