Hi gamers :)

Last Friday i got an email saying i had won a gaming pc signed by the Yogscast :D Now i have an issue, around 3 months ago i bought this:

Motherboard : Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
CPU : AMD FX 6300 Six Core CPU (turbo 4.1Ghz)
HDD : 1tb Sata Hard Drive
Ram : 16gb DDR3 1600mhz
GPU : Onboard Intergrated
PSU : 500 Watt
Optical Drive : 24x Dual Layer DVD Writer
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

I upgraded it with a MSI R7950 3GB Boost Edition and a 1000W PSU V2 Black Edition Modular Power Supply 80Plus Bronze.

New computer specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 Processor 3.20 GHz with Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Quiet CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus B85M-G Motherboard
Ram: 8GB Corsair PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Graphics Card
HDD: 1000GB 7200RPM Hard Disk - 6Gbps
Optical Drive: 24x DVD-RW Drive
PSU: Corsair Ultra Low Noise 600W PSU
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Now I'm not sure what to do, i want to keep the signed case but do i swap bits from each computer or do i swap the whole lot from my old computer. I currently overclock my CPU and GPU by around 10-15%, now from what i have read, i cant overclock this new i5 but im not sure if it's much better than my current CPU.

What do you guys recommend? :confused:

Might be worth swapping the ram over seeing as how they look like the same speed . Just make sure it's not stupidly high cas latency .

There is enough slots left for me to put the 16GB in to bump it up to 24GB or would that not work as they are not the same spec?
 
Swap the RAM and then keep the yogscast pc, sell the old one. Then with the money buy an SSD and/or upgrade the graphics card if wanting to game. Or just pocket a few hundred £££

Ok I'll swap the RAM, I'll move the HDD over to and just put my old 500GB in this one, I think i should swap the PSU also as its a 1000 watter :) Thanks guys :)
