Hi All!

I'm thinking about making some upgrades as I've started getting into PC Gaming again after a while....

I probably won't upgrade all at once, but what are some good upgrades to improve this PC spec for today's market? I've been out of the loop for a while!

Spec:

i5-2500K 3.30Ghz
4.00 Gb RAM
GeForce GTX 460

I have an SSD hard drive and storage.

So, aside from just saying "everything" :) ... what do you think?

I'm going to add a load of RAM at least... likely to 16 Gb if I can - then next I was thinking a new Graphics Card.

What will give me a good boost without getting rid of the mobo/CPU?

Thanks!
 
Get that 2500k clocked pronto and perhaps add a decent gpu 7950/70 is a cracking bang for buck upgrade ATM along with a decent cooler for your CPU

Really depends on your usage but 8 gig of ram would be cheap upgrade as well

I do some DAW (Audio Production work) so since RAM is so cheap the more the merrier...

Graphics card is what I was thinking too so that combined with some CPU love sounds a good plan :)
 
I think the PSU probably needs a do-over - I suspect it's scraping by on the wattage fronts and once I upgrade the GPU it won't cut it...

Cheers guys!
