Nah, we’ve been off that since 2008. Back then we started direct downloading from “file lockers.” We off that now though too.People ain't doing that no more?

Could anyone suggest some upgrades I could make to my PC? I got this built 3 years ago. I don't know much about PC parts so I could use some help.
I want to be able to run more games like PUBG, FarCry, GTA, ect. smoothly.
You have to give people a budget man.. you can run all of those games with a 1080 60 fps monitor with a Fx 8350/8300/8320e (upgrade your bios first to make sure its compatible). Only spend 80 max for a new cpu.
paired with a 1050/ rx 560 1024 4gb (buy it at msrp - do not pay over) you'll get 1080 60 fps on mid. You should spend 200 max buying both. If you are willing to look at reddit hardwareswap or ebay, I'd get a 970 card for 130-150.
My ceiling for you would be the 1060 3gb or the 1060 6gb if the price difference between both isn't worth buying the 3gb.
Honestly, you should begin saving money to buy a new rig.. Your PC is older than 3 years (even if you bought it 3 years ago)
does your ram say 801mz is that even possible for ddr3, replace the whole thing

800 will be DDR3 1600. So in terms of RAM that is ok for that rig.You have to give people a budget man.. you can run all of those games with a 1080 60 fps monitor with a Fx 8350/8300/8320e (upgrade your bios first to make sure its compatible). Only spend 80 max for a new cpu.

@Treyrich I have a Seasonic 620W Power Supply if you need to get a new one.
I do think it is time for an upgrade tough. Ryzen 2 or wait until Intel's 9th gen series if you are looking to stick it out for a little while longer. Nothing wrong with upgrading the parts around that core you have. New Power Supply, Graphics Card, Maybe a nice SATA SSD to use as your secondary storage drive once you jump to a platform with nvme support.

Finally thinking of making the move towards a new PC
was really hoping to wait out for new gen video cards but not sure whats the hold up at this point
currently have a i7-3770k / 970 GTX
thinking of gettting a i7-8700k? 1080 GTX
unless someone knows new gen cards are releasing this year then ill hold off
ive never set up a liquid cooled system before either, how complicated (or time consuming I guess is real answer) is it compared to just setting a regular heat sink to the processor
edit: Or I could just buy a prebuilt one since im old now
unless I can save $500 I dont see the benefit of building one right now 
edit: I havnt built a computer since DDR4 was relevant..
1) why the fukk is RAM so expensive now
2) is there a noticable difference from say Corsair DDR4 3000 MHz vs 4000 MHz ? I could never tell the difference with memory
edit: pricing im looking at is roughly $1600
but I can just buy this same thing prebuilt for $1800
is the 8700k that much better than the 7800
edit#2
prebuilts seem to be around $2100.. so guess back to building

I only play at 1080 right now, 144 hz though
dont really care about 4k, 1440p would be nice though
A 1080 will be fine at 1440p. I’d also get the 8700k. 6 cores, and all for future proofing.
Try Alienware or CyberpowerPC

Cyberpower ironically got $500 off
this only $1800 and includes 2 new HDS this would be same cost if I bought parts separate - Windows 10 Home
- Intel® Core™ Processor i7-8700K
- GeForce® GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X
- 16GB ADATA XPG Z1 3000MHz RAM
- 240GB WD Green SSD + 2TB HDD Combo
- MSI Z370 - A PRO ATX Motherboard
is adata memory I been seeing it on all the sites is that the new G skill
Yeah ADATA is real popular now.Cyberpower ironically got $500 off

- Intel® Core™ Processor i7-8700K

I'd pull the plug on that CyberPowerPC prebulid. You are going to have a very difficult time finding a 1080 by itself, nevertheless at retail price, due crypto shyt.
$1800 is great for that setup.
