awesome, thx. Figured the GPU was due

Hello, I've been saving for a while and got around $1000 to spend for upgrades. This PC is used for gaming. What can I upgrade to make the biggest impact? CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K Processor - Quad Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3.4GHz, 84W, Fan, 1200 MHz Graphics Core Speed - GPU-Gigabyte GV-N770OC-2GD...

Hello, I recently built my first build and had some upgrade plans already. The reason is because I'm looking for a set-up that will be easy to upgrade in the future and I'm very picky about organization, cooling, and space. I do not plan to OC so it may seem like overkill. I very much...

Well, everything went very smooth and so far everything I've thrown at it has been cake. The Video card is outstanding and the temps are always low. This was my first build and the only thing I messed up at POST was putting the memory in the wrong slots. I plan to get a modular power supply and...

Very helpfull. Thank you
