So I've been reading some threads about upgrades, and was looking to get some advice for my situation. I am looking to upgrade or rebuild my 2012 era PC that has these specs:

Sapphire 7850 2gb vidyacard
Gigabyte 970 chipset mobo
AMD FX 8350 processor
G.Skill 16gb ddr3 @ 1600mhz ram
Samsung 256GB 850pro SSD
Dedicated hardware Raid card
2x 6TB WD red's in raid 1

I am weighing my options and was thinking of:

1.) Buying an rx480 8GB card and calling it good for another 2 years.
2.) Building the PC from scratch now with an Intel 6700k and GTX 1070 as the foundation.
3.) Waiting until next year and build a PC from scratch with a Zen processor + Vega graphics.
4.) Waiting until next year and build a PC from scratch with a Kaby Lake Processor + Volta graphics.

Is there a better alternative I'm not seeing? I mostly game with Arma 3 and do CAD work.

Do whatever suits your needs

Get a new GPU, the 8350 isn't bad enough to be retired just yet.

When Zen comes out that will be the time to upgrade your CPU. Not because Zen will be good but the next 10 years of the CPU market are going to be dominated by the results of Zen. If it's good, prices are going to go down across the board (hopefully), and you'll be able to score a good processor at a good price.
If it's awful, that's it for CPUs, they're not going to get any cheaper so you should buy one then and there because AMD are finished, and the intel monopoly will just keep stagnating, so buying one then is buying one that will last. The last good generation before intel starts selling CPUs that are designed to fail after 3 years so you buy the new version with go faster stripes

why do people limit themselves on their SSDs? it's purely financial reasoning, right?

Well you only need to store things in the SSD that benefit from collosally sped up access times and faster read/write speeds.
Programs, operating systems, that is more or less it.
Shit like movies, music, porn don't need the speed and that's the shit that takes up all the space.

You could say games but most games don't benefit from SSDs that much, since it's a large quantity of data all at once from one area on the drive rather than lots of small amounts of data from everywhere

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
