Hi all,
I've been pondering biting the bullet on an upgrade for a little while, I've been stringing my current build on with graphics cards upgrades since *checks reciepts* 2012, so I'm unfortunately at the point where any upgrade is going to require multiple parts replaced!
My PC gaming is almost exclusively done to my TV over Steam Link, so I guess I don't need beyond 1080p, but I don't ever feel that I've had a high quality or stable experience even at that level. One look at Jesse's face in Control got me pondering this haha
Here's the PCPartPicker Part List for my current PC:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Dual Video Card
Case: BitFenix Prodigy (Orange) Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
I guess I have a few questions for y'all:

I guess I have a few questions for y'all:
- What parts should I be looking to upgrade, if anything?
- What's still good here that I can keep?
- What would be the best I could do with a £500-£700 range, assuming no need for storage or peripherals?
- Is this a bad time to do an upgrade? I'm happy to hold off if new stuff/price drops are due
