This is my current PC:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Kraken X61 Water Cooler
NZXT S340 Black
PSU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
3DMark Results: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Would you say those are good results for a PC of my Specs?
I'm looking to upgrade my PC to the next level, what do you think is the next part to upgrade? Money isn;t really an issue, as i will save up for it, then carry on, etc. So just lmk what you think needs upgrading!
I haven't OC anything on this PC yet, purely because i don;t know that much about it xd Will be doing it in the future when i learn more about it!
I appreciate all the opinions and suggestions, thanks!

I already have a Full 4k Monitor, just running it in 1080p Due to my other monitor being 1080p. As the resolutions don;t line up ofc, i plan on getting a new Monitor later, just deciding on new PC Parts atm.

Why would you run your 4k monitor at 1080p. That makes no sense. Also why is your 980Ti showing 2GB VRAM? There's really no logical upgrade for you IMO, other than case. Could get a better/different monitor but not necessary since you have a 4k monitor. Could maybe replace your PSU depending on the quality.

I also have no idea why my 980TI is only showing 2gb's of VRAM thank god you just pointed that out to me... Any idea why it;s doing that?
This is the 980TI i have : [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I honestly have no idea why it would only be showing 2GB VRAM. I'd probably open MSI Afterburner and play some games then look at VRAM usage to see if it's using more than 2GB. PSU is solid, no reason to upgrade that either. You could maybe upgrade to a 1080Ti or Vega equivalent once those release but it's not necessary IMO. Stop using a 4k monitor at 1080p though.

Tbh i don;t know how to use AfterBurner, never have used it tbh. I loaded up CSGO and this is what i'm getting: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Is this what i use to OC The GPU?

The graphs below show what your GPU is doing so scroll down until you see VRAM usage. Yes, you can use Afterburner to OC your GPU but I'd probably watch a couple of in depth videos and/or read some in depth articles on overclocking, specifically GPU overclocking. It's not hard but it's good to have an idea of what you're doing before you try it.
