Looking to either upgrade my current pc or buy a new one, looking to go from 2 to 3 monitors and have it able to run vr. Not sure whether it's worth upgrading my current one or not, I don't keep up to date on this stuff at all, it's over 4 years old now so getting on.

It's got:

Motherboard
ASUS® SABERTOOTH Z77: USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, THERMAL ARMOR
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3770K (3.5GHz) 8MB Cache
Memory (RAM)
16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (4 x 4GB KIT)
Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 670 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready
1st Hard Disk
120GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW)
2nd Hard Disk
2TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD2002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)

If it's viable to upgrade what would you do to it? Or if buying a new one what should I aim for?

Don't particularly have a price limit, but not looking for top drawer, middle range would do nicely.

Cheers guys.

Kepler aged like milk, gtx 780 ti despite being a much stronger card often loses to the 1050 ti or ties with it in most modern games... all because of that arch... so replace that gpu and ull be in business
3770k is still a beast

The 1050 Ti does not equal or outperform a 780 Ti almost ever.
