Currently running with this:
- Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache
- MSI P67A-C45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
- Cooler Master Elite 430 Windowed Case
- 500w Elite Power PSU (Came with case)
- Sony Optiarc AD-5280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter
- Corsair XMS3 12GB (2x2GB + 2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
- Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
- Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card with built in Headphone Amp
- W7 64bit
I'm looking to make some worthwhile upgrades, as well as some that will last a long time. The plan is to buy things over a couple of months to spread out the cost.
Right now I'm tempted to get a new case, but don't think room is too much of an issue currently. Instead, I've been looking to get a new PSU and purchase an SSD to drop my OS and main games onto.
Currently looking at:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung 128GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7PD128BW) £115.99
1 x Plextor M5 Pro 128GB Extreme Series Solid State Drive - (PX-128M5P) £99.95
1 x Intel 520 Series 60GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive £75.95
1 x XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £64.00
1 x Antec High Current Gamer M 520W "80+ Bronze" Modular Power Supply £59.99
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 500w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020059-UK) £54.98
Total : £482.86 (includes shipping : £10.00).
I don't really have a budget, but I'd want to spend something around the prices I've chosen. I don't have that much knowledge of this, but looking at these they do seem to be alright. As you can tell, I'm unsure on which to go with and what would be the biggest upgrade.
All help would be greatly appreciated, as well as any suggestions. I do ideally want 128gb+ for the SSD.
