I built my own system a few years ago now and have a little bit of money this month to do some upgrading. The graphics card has caused me a few issues so I'm gravitating toward swapping that, apart from that I'm just after some general advice on what else is worth doing.
Current spec...
Case:
Corsair Obsidian Series 550D CC-9011015-WW Quiet Mid-Tower Cases
Motherboard:
MAXIMUS VII RANGER (S1150 Intel Z97 DDR3 ATX)
Chipset:
Intel Core i7-4770K
Memory:
8GB (2 × 4gb) Corsair Vengeance Pro Series DDR3 (1866Mhz)
Graphics:
Sapphire Dual-X AMD Radeon R9 270X OC 2GB GDDR5
Disks:
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB
2 x Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive
Power:
Corsair CP-9020053-UK RM Series RM550 80 Plus Gold 550W ATX/EPS
CD/DVD:
Samsung 24x Retail SATA DVD Writer
Cooling:
Corsair 120mm Hydro Series H80i Digital High Performance Rad All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler
I should add, I'm not a gamer as such though I do put my machine through it's paces at times with video editing, Photoshop, batch file processes etc. I run two displays.
