UpGrade

Not the DS3H, please. I'm REALLY not a fan of that board (overclocking). Get the D3H at the very least.

Dunno why you are getting some memory since you already have 8GB 12800C9 DDR3? 1500C11 wont make a difference, 16GB wont either, mixing ram speed and voltage,... dunno how or if that works. Use the money for a better board / CPU cooler.

Not sure about the mechanical keyboard either, unless your keyboard needs replacing. I would spend that money elsewhere.

I second keeping the 460. IMO you will benefit really going from a 7850 (No Nvidia 6xx equivalent at the moment), or a 670. 2GB Vram. Dropping the SSD might get you there.


YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 7850 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £179.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM £179.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £109.99
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/1156/1155/775/AM3/AM2+/AM2) £32.99
Total : £514.96 (includes shipping : £10.00).



I would get the SSD later, although that will involve a reinstall. Or save for a 670. That's a good NVidia card to get.

Mechanical keyboard? I can't really say no :) They are noisy if that's a concern, don't listen to the 'red switches are quiet'. They are not.
