I've been upgrading my computer slowly for the past couple of months, buts nothing major(just fans graphics cards, SSD) and i decided this summer i would do something big. Originally I wanted to do a huge upgrade and get everything new and get a 2700k etc... But I decided I didn't want to stay home all summer saving every single penny. So im thinking of just getting a new processor heat sink and case, but im not sure my PSU will be able to power everything. My psu is a corsair cx600 and I have a Phenom II x4 925, but my big concern comes from the GTX 480.
So right now my rig is:
phenom II x4 925
AData 2x2 ddr3 1600
crappy gigabyte mATX AM3
evga GTX 480
wireless adapter
OCZ Onyx 32gb SSD
Western digital caviar 500gb 7200rpm
Corsair cx600
4 120mm case fans
NZXT Gamma
Nzxt fan controller
I included everything because I fell like Im pushing my PSU to its limit, and that every watt counts.
Im looking to upgrade my 925 to a 975 BE($120 on newegg) and pair that with a hyper 212+ which would end up being $150, And then in a couple weekes transfer everything into a NZXT Phantom. I'm just hoping my PSU can handle this so I can focus on the "exciting" upgrades. And I do plan on upgrading my motherboard and PSU I would just prefer to get a new processor and case first.
