thats my first built PC and all the parts are from this website.... it has served me well over the last few years but i am a hardcore gamer and need upgrades badly...

my questions are...
1: do i upgrade parts or do i start a fresh build?
2: no matter what the answer can you please suggest either upgrades or parts best suited to gaming at roughly £70-80 a piece.

These are what I have looked at so far.

ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AMD 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
AMD Piledriver FX-4 Quad Core 4300 3.80GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor -
Asus HD 6670 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Kingston 60GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S37A/60G)
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

hopefully that is all compatible
 
thanks, was kinda aiming towards the whole new build route. and that would be a big upgrade yes? any1 else agree?
 
and if thats the case then can u finish that build for me so i can start collecting the pieces i need? like what case? power supply etc? and thankyou ofcourse :)
 
Sometime ago I was scolded for adding Merc case to a build, because it 'doesn't even have usb 3.0'. Maybe it would be better to use a different one. Corsair 200R comes to mind.
