I already have the Monitor, PSU, and case as leftovers from my current computer.

Thoughts on the card? Should I wait until the FTW cards are back in stock? I prefer to stay Evga for the card. I typically keep builds for 2 years or longer, current comp has a 980 card and i7 4700k processor.

Pc Part picker is showing ~500w consumption, is my 3 year old seasonic 850w enough juice?

thanks dudes

I'd stick with current and upgrade gpu/drives only.
The gains are not worth the investment at all.

Wait for intels next line and see whats up then.

2600K is still a good CPU. But I think a 7700K will be a step up...these days.

/e More for the motherboard chipset, than the CPU itself.

i already own the case. it sits under a desk and i don't want anything flashy, i don't see a big reason to upgrade.
