Hello there and welcome to my profile, I work with technology in ICT. So is there anything I can help you with today? Information about Games, HTML, Movie info, Normal TV-Series or something else perhaps? I also have opportunities to help with ModDB profilers backgrounds and music, if there is anything send me a PM.
Three years ago I built this PC and after these years I have started thinking about whether I should upgrade something at all.
I see that the 10th generation of Intel has come and only a few weeks left until 3070-3080-3090 graphics cards coming to the market.

In this last year, I only change the power supply from 750w to 1200w and got 16GB more of Ram beside from that there is nothing else that's new.
But I want your opinion if I should upgrade or not. All I know is if I'm going to get a new graphics card then I have to redo my entire water-cooled set-top and that's a lot of work...
The answer is simple, really. Would your gameplay experience benefit from more powerful hardware? If everything you play already runs smoothly, at native resolution and pleasing visual quality, the increased performance from more powerful hardware would go unused.
Also when you do upgrade, you might want to consider Ryzen. It's really good performance for your money.
On the subject of the new Nvidia cards, personally I'm amazed by how much people trust advertising to accurately reflect the final product. Don't get me wrong, I fully expect the RTX 30xx series to be very high performance hardware, but I'd much rather wait until actual production models are in users' hands to define what exactly the hardware can do.
Many people say that you do not see much difference between 2K and 4K when it comes to resolution and quality on the screen, now I can play games on 4K but only in 60 FPS and little above depending on the game itself.
What I walk around the most thinking and worry about is the CPU that people say is best to replace after 3 years, but my motherboard can not take more than what it already has now without me having to get a new motherboard.
And if that's the case instead of buying upgrades is it not better to just build a new PC and sell the old one instead of upgrading?
