I have been looking to upgrade my PC for a while. My specs are listed if you want to take a look and see if its worth it to upgrade. My main uses for the PC will be gaming, video/photo editing and streaming. Also looking to get into 4K gaming and VR.

For CPU I am looking at the I7-6700k. For Mobo, RAM, I don't have anything set in stone yet so if you guys can give any recommendations for those that would be great. Also looking to upgrade my GPU as well something that can handle 4k gaming.

Budget?

4K single card for decent fps, I'd say you need a Titan X Pascal or buy a GTX1080Ti whenever it comes out, if you can wait that is....

Click to expand...

I can wait on the GPU upgrade, but for the other parts I would say my budget is around $800-900.
