Ok lots to think about, thanks so much for your help!

Thank you! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kjTkwh Would this be ok for a few years assuming I kept the case, PSU and switched over my current SSD? I play GTA, CoD and want to eventually try out Microsoft flight simulator later this year. Only thing that puts me off now if everyone saying...

I know very little about my current setup apparently as the PSU is actually a Corsair CS550M - 550 W - 80 PLUS Gold https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CS550M-internal-Vengeance-Headset/dp/B00MBOXYY2 Will this still be reasonable to keep?

Existing case is the Zalman Z9 Series Tower https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-Z9-Plus-Tower-Computer/dp/B004FPQL0E This is the one! I cant see PSU model without taking case apart but it is 7 years old, it never been an issue but I guess it could do with being replaced?

Thanks, I want to ugrade the lot so will be new cpu, board, gpu etc. when i say modest, im kinda hoping £500-£700 all in (i will use existing case). Theres so much to choose from im kind of lost with it now

Ive just purchased a new monitor (https://www.msi.com/Monitor/support/Optix-MAG272CQR) How can I get the most out of it on a relatively modest budget? Currently on: i5 4670k, 8gb ram, msi z87 g45 board *no GPU* Want to upgrade and be ok for a few years (had current set up for 7 years!). I...
