hello guys,

these are my current specs below, what could i upgrade to make everything run a little smoother and faster and just so everything doesn't take so long to load and open up?

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU
8gb ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
 
its not a k cpu, the mother board is a Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3, and i don't have an ssd, i use the PC for games mainly and sometimes making music, it can run the games and everything fine it just seems to take a while for everything to initially load.
 
Well a SSD and a gfx card upgrade is what im thinking.

Got a budget?

What case+PSU do you have? what resolution do you game at?
 
Im getting more laptop hits on google than case hits.

Do you know how much room is inside for large gfx cards, the PSU will have a label on it.
 
Medion are a company selling pre-built systems. The case, if it's the same as their current one looks something like this

I'm guessing the PSU will be a re-brand budget unit too
 
its a bit of an unknown case as i bought it pre-built, theres plenty of room in the case and the psu is a FSP group 600 80EMDN, the case doesnt look like that its just a standard rectangular black case.
 
The CPU is still a good bit of kit, even without the overclocking ability as it is locked.

thats okay, would it be worth changing the cpu?

Most games are more reliant on the graphics cards these days. So your processor will be okay for a shade longer. I'd wait till new chipset/Skylake until you bother upgrading it. It'd cost a bit too, since it would require a new motherboard in addition. A graphics card and SSD should do for now.
