Hey everyone! I built my PC back in 2018 and I'm considering upgrading some of the components, but I'm not sure if it's even worth it or what exactly to change. Here's what I'm working with:
- **Case**: Fractal Design Define R6 Blackout TG
- **CPU**: Intel Core i7 8700K (3.7 GHz, 12MB, Socket 1151)
- **Motherboard**: ASUS PRIME Z370-A
- **RAM**: Corsair 32GB (2KIT) DDR4 2666MHz
- **Graphics Card**: ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1070 Ti
- **PSU**: Seasonic Focus 850W 80+ Platinum
- **Storage**: Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD (250GB) + WD Blue 4TB (5400RPM)
- **Cooling**: Corsair Hydro H115i PRO RGB 280mm Radiator
I don't necessarily need the absolute latest graphics card, but I know I should make some updates. Any tips would be super helpful!

If you're looking for a new GPU, the 9060XT 16GB is a solid choice if the price is right for you. You might want to plan on upgrading the CPU down the line too, but for now, your storage setup is good as it is, and your PSU can handle the load without any issues.
That price of around €400-450 sounds reasonable! Upgrading your storage is also a smart move since SSD prices have dropped a lot recently. You can often find 1TB drives for about the same cost as your 250GB.
