If you had $500, what would you upgrade?

Sounds like you need to gut everything from the motherboard to the video card to the RAM. You could try just upgrading to the Best video card out there or something near the best. You cant upgrade the RAM unless you replace the Motherboard and CPU.

Maybe you should read the specs again. He doesn't need to replace anything to upgrade. He can add wo more 8GB sticks of memory and add more storage. And he does have the best video card out there.

I'm feeling the NVME itch

Thanks. I actually did order also another 16gb of memory to put my PC up to 32gb. And the 1TB 850 EVO I have coming in.

Enjoy the extra hardware. While I'm not as high end as you are, I'm in the same boat about upgrading.

I would hold out for a 7700k since you are rocking a Haswell i7. Doubt you'll notice the difference with a Skylake i7. Ddr3 is pointless if you are planning to move to skylake and newer.

My vote is 1gb SSD and wait it out or a second gtx 1080 if your having fps issues.
