I'm looking for some components to completely update my rig

My current rig is :

CPU : intel i5 - 2400 3.1Ghz ( OC to 3.4Ghz)

MEM : 4 GB Kingston at 1333Mhz

GPU : MSI Twin Frozr GTX 760 2GB

HDD : Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM

PSU : Xilence 700W 80bronze Certification

Case : Small Ugly (broken already to fit my GPU 😛 ) black box.


Currenlty upgrades I have in my mind :

Motherboard : Msi B75A=G43 Gaming S1155

CPU 🙁Wont change it , can run any game just fine on ultra) intel i5 - 2400 3.1Ghz ( OC to 3.4Ghz)

MEM : 8 GB Corsair Ballastic 1600 MHZ

GPU : (my baby & pride , so won't change this either ) MSI Twin Frozr GTX 760 2GB

HDD : Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM + AN EXTRA SSD Samsung 256 GB

PSU : Xilence 700W 80bronze Certification ( can give enough stable Wattage for both CPU and GPU )

So.. Pretty much you are just updating the Mobo, RAM (forgot about that), case, and an extra SSD?

And yea, the CPU should last good for the next few years.

(I'll be back in a sec with my suggestion)

Yhea a brand new mobo & the new pair of ballistics are the main points to watch for

What you picked out would work too. I decided to just put together this because I thought this stuff might be a little better.
I changed the case for the very reason that Gigabyte seems to make cheaper cases. But whatever hold your computer right?

I hoped all this helped. If you have any more questions, just ask and I will be happy to answer.
