Current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3PgMrH

My video card is on its last leg, or was. Haven’t been on it for awhile.
Wanting to get back into some computer games so figure I could upgrade a little too.

Budget:$500ish
More specific use (what games, what programs):WoW, Ark, pubg
Planned time until purchase: Within a month - Looking for recommendations, mainly.
Do you need an Operating System?: No.
Do you have any specific preferred components?: No.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No.
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:Maybe.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Possibly a second monitor.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):21742

As stated above, looking for recommendations for the most part. May be something sooner if able. I would like to run WoW at max settings if possible and run two monitors.

So, video card and possibly another upgrade or two maybe of advice on future upgrades?

Added new Vid card, more RAM and an SSD



https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f89Kq3 <---- cost of just the new parts = 452.97




/e The NEXT time you feel like you need an upgrade, you'll be looking at a new comp, pretty much.

I figured next upgrade would be a completely new build. It’s what I planned on either way. Just hoping this will get me through a couple more years.
You’re the man though mate. Think you even put this one together for me. Lol
Appreciate it.

Except RTX 2060 will bottleneck with most haswell CPUs

I think your ceiling with that cpu is a 1070 or 1660

Reuse your case / power supply and transfer your hard drive over.
