Hi

Bought a new computer about 1 and a half years ago and would like to upgrade it for £100-400 to ensure that it performs well and lasts another good 2-3 years. I am buying a new computer but also plan to continue to use the current one for demanding applications.

The current PC I have is as follows:

  • Item: Samsung SH-D163C 16x DVD-ROM SATA Optical Drive - OEM Black
    Qty: 1 Cost: £9.95
  • Item: WD 1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Caviar Black Hard Drive - 7200rpm 64MB Cache
    Qty: 1 Cost: £89.17
  • Item: MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) P67 Socket 1155 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
    Qty: 1 Cost: £85.96
  • Item: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
    Qty: 1 Cost: £143.79
  • Item: Asus GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card
    Qty: 1 Cost: £140.91
  • Item: Be Quiet Dark Rock Advanced C1 Socket 775, 1155, 1156, 1366, AM2+, AM3, 754, 939 Processor Cooler
    Qty: 1 Cost: £35.82
  • Item: CM Storm Enforcer Case
    Qty: 1 Cost: £58.48
  • Item: Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Memory Kit CL10 Unbuffered
    Qty: 2 Cost: £17.57
  • Item: Thermaltake 630W Smart Series PSU
    Qty: 1 Cost: £47.78

Extras bought after the initial purchase include:
  • DVD Writer
  • WD 1TB Caviar Black
  • Asus Xonar DX
  • AverMedia Gamer Broadcaster HD
  • D-Link DGE 528T - Network adapter

Any help will be very appreciated. :D

brilliant, this looks good. Unfortunately I don't have any RAM slots left, are you recommending replacing them?

Currently have 2 sets of Ballistix Sport 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Memory Kit CL10 Unbuffered
So taking up 4 ram slots and giving 8GB ram.

Many Thanks :D
