Hey OcUK'ers, I probably don't need to upgrade but I certainly am tempted to get some new parts.

My current specs are:
  • CM HAFX Case
  • Corsair CX600M
  • Asrock z68 Extreme 4 Gen3 Motherboard
  • Intel i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz
  • TT Silver Arrow
  • Msi Twin Frozr 7950 3gb v2
  • Sound blaster Z
  • Samsung 256GB SSD PRO
  • Seagate 1TB HDD

Could you recommend some upgrades?
I mostly play bf4/3, dota 2 and the like.

Thanks

Better PSU, second 7950. :)

(Theres no way I would attempt to run 7950 Crossfire on a CX600, mainly because it doesnt have enough connectors, but I think it would also be pushing it power wise)

don't know how much memory you got or what speed it is, but here two minor upgrade that you can do without reinstalling windows and that will give you a boost.

1x Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor £263.99
1x MSI Radeon R9 280X Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with BattleField 4 PC Game Included £239.99
Total = £503.98

next thing to consider for upgrade maybe more ram for example 8gb to 16gb @1866/2133/2400 MHz

Yeah, I agree with this. There is some 2400Mhz TeamGroup Extreme (2x4GB) memory modules on sale this week.
 
Sorry for the late reply, work work work.

I forgot to mention that i have 16GB kingston hyper x @ 1600mhz already.

If it were you, would you rather get a second 7950 or sell and upgrade to the 290x?
 
Rational me: second 7950. Cheaper, and you'll get better performance.

Actual me: 290X. It's newer.
