Thoughts? I can still run things fine for the most part. I feel though I am due for some type of upgrade. Build was done back in 2013-2014 I think

Maybe would like to ultimately run two monitors


Keep your CPU cooler, GFX card (for the time being), and Power Supply.

What are your goals, aside from 2 monitors? What frame rates are you going for? Is this a primary work pc or gaming pc?

Run what I want to run game wise. This is purely a gaming machine. I'm honestly not so hardware intense as some of you in this thread
