Hi all, i've not built a new pc in a couple of years now, and feel a bit out of touch with the latest. Could anyone give me any ideas to upgrade my machine? I feel my ram might be lacking?

Cant see much wrong with that.

Overclock the CPU and if you play games maybe upgrade the GFX card if you think its lacking.

+1 to OC the CPU!

Maybe you could think of upgrade CPU to Core i7 Extreme Edition 990X, you can find it cheap second hand easy.

I have the same setup, all I did for mine was OC the cpu to 4ghz and got a 970 for Christmas.

what do you use the PC for? if its for gaming I would just do what ive done and oc the cpu and get a new GPU

Thanks for the input guys. I might have a look at overclocking. Maybe I don't have to upgrade for a while longer! I only play games on this machine, so like to keep on top of the specs.
