Hi,
I am a student taking a lot of both programming classes and classes that do 3d modelling (A lot of Maya and Unity for school). I already have a nice desktop, but it's been a few years since I upgraded it, and I'm getting some extra money for school that can be invested in a better computer.
What I have:
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
CPU: i5-4670K @3.4 GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR3
Storage: 446 GB SSD and 596 GB HDD
GPU: GeForce GTX 760
Power Supply: ANTEC SG-650 650W, 7 years old
Case: Antex 902, also 7 years old
Display: ASUS VH226H Black 21.5" HDMI.
I do not have enough desk space for a second monitor, or it'd be a high priority.
Anything important that I missed?
Anyway, I'd like to upgrade some of those, but am not sure what's the highest priority for my needs.
What's good enough (I suspect all of it except the memory is good enough), and what's in desparate need of replacement? What would be nice to have? Thanks.
