I’ve had this PC since early 2019 and I’m now looking to gradually upgrade it over the next year or so. I don't have a strict budget, but I’m not looking for a top-of-the-line build—just something that can handle 1440p and 4K gaming decently.
I’m a bit out of the loop with current components, so I’d appreciate any guidance. I assume my RAM is fine for now with these prices and that the GPU should be my first priority, but I’m also considering starting with a 1440p/4K Mini-LED monitor since I use the PC for productivity too. Can I keep my current PSU, CPU cooler, and case for this upgrade? What do you think?
