There comes a time in a man's life when an upgrade is needed! My budget will be around 500 pounds maybe more depending on the items.

My current specs:
Nvidia GTX 560 TI 2GB
Intel i5-3470 CPU @ 3.1GHz
Asus p8h61-mx motherboard
8gb Ram

I am looking to upgrade my case (it is very small and requires an open side to manage with the temperature) and graphics card as priority, further on I will probably look at upgrading the CPU/motherboard depending on the budget.
Possibly looking at overclocking the new CPU/old one and/or GFX

Any suggestions on good value items?
 
Re-use your RAM, PSU and sell the motherboard, CPU & Graphics card to make up the difference:

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS Radeon R9 280X iPower IceQ X2 Boost 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £233.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £179.99
1 x MSI Z87-G43 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard - FREE Alpenfohn Civetta Cooler!! £95.99
1 x NZXT Source 210 Elite Midi Tower Case - Black £39.95
Total : £563.41 (includes shipping : £11.25).



What PSU do you have?
 
Hi, I will have to double check the PSU when I get home. I am looking for a bigger case, I have had trouble with midi cases. Additionally, I have always looked at Nvidia GeForce GFX cards, is Radeon on par?
