Hello.

Thanks for reading, just wanted everyones advice on whether you think I should upgrade or buy a new PC. I bought the below in September 2016 and getting that three year itch. PC specs are:

CPU: A409 - Intel Core i5 6600K
CPU Cooler: B304 - Corsair H100i v2
RAM: C403 - 16GB Corsair 2666mhz
Graphics card: D318 - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 ARMOR 8GB OC Edition
Motherboard: E410 - Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI
Hard Drive: G412 - Samsung 512GB 850 PRO SSD
Secondary Hard Drive: G103 - 2TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Case: K322 - Cooler Master Silencio 652S
PSU: K605 - 650W Corsair VS

I run a 2k monitor and like to play on high settings with above 60fps rates.

What do you all think, new cpu/gpu/ram or new pc, would you change the cooler?

Cheers

Better question is, do you feel the need to upgrade at all? Your PC should be able to play just about anything at 1440p at 60fps just fine with high settings, and a good number in ultra. If you did want an upgrade what would be your budget range?

I had about the same specs as you. BFV however destroyed my computer. It required more than 4 cores if i wanted more than 40 fps. I got the i7 9700k and a new MOBO. Now i am getting 120 fps average. The gtx 1070 is my favorite card as well. It has insane power.

For you, however i wouldn't upgrade unless you want a slightly better CPU. In other words, there shouldn't be any significant need to upgrade as your computer is a pretty good one.
