Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming and working from home and some Virtual machines to lab with.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I'm mostly playing ARK Survival right now with mostly medium settings and average around 20 FPS @ 1080p. I'm looking to upgrade so I can up the settings more and get some better FPS. Being an early access game it might not be the best benchmark but it's what I have fresh in my mind right now.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

I have set aside 7000SEK for this so approximately 830USD

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Sweden

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Below is my current build. I'm thinking of keeping the case and PSU but I don't know if I should just toss the rest out and start from scratch or if I just start with a new GPU and go from there. I haven't really been in the loop since my last upgrade to the GTX 580 in 2011. So my question is: Will a brand new GPU do much difference for me or should I look into replacing it all?
