What is your next upgrade?

I'm probably going to pickup some more RAM next, I've currently got 16GB but I'm planning the leap to 32GB.
However if I do that I'm spending a fortune on more DDR3 RAM, which might not be a smart choice because I don't know long long I'll have my rig before replacing the whole lot. Which would then probably need DDR4...

I was also considering getting some more storage. My 6TB of mechanical drives are currently full, and so are my SSDs. But I'd get that in a separate NAS unit more than likely.
While were on the topic I might as well mention my most recent upgrade. I made the step from 1080p 144Hz to 1440p 144Hz. It's lovely, text is finally nice and crisp even on a 27" panel. < 3

I plan on downloading more ram ASAP, hosting lan servers on the same PC as gaming is rather RAM intensive.

After getting my 1060 and seeing the cpu bottleneck I went ahead and ordered an Ryzen 5 1600, MSI B350 mobo and 16GB DDR4 3000. I figure I'll find a cheap case, cpu cooler and psu and use it on my old parts for learning penetration testing.

cpu to a 1060
gpu to a kick ass nividia device


just waiting on the funds

probably full OEM in next months. My all pc components are old.

My setup:

CPU -> AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8Ghz
RAM -> 16Go Corsair Vengance LPX Black (3000Mhz)
GPU -> Gigabyte GTX 1050ti OC
SSD/HDD -> 120Go SPCC (SSD) / 2To WD Blue

Next upgrade:

Maybe a GTX 1060 6Gb and a 500Go SSD

My next upgrade is probably going to be a full SFF pc, not sure of the specs right now, waiting for prices to return to normal.
What I do know is that it will be a full AMD build, no Intel CPU or Nvidia GPU, got tired of that on Linux.
