Extra cash. Which part should I upgrade next?

[Pinz]

Hey all! I have got some extra cash as of late, about $400, and I'm looking to spend it on an upgrade for my gaming PC. If anyone has an easy way of listing all the components my PC has in it that would be awesome, otherwise I will start typing a list out. Cheers.

If it's fairly up-to-date you can create it as a 'new' build in Pcpartpicker, otherwise, flex those fingers, mate. 😉
Please give us the display details as well as the main tech specs, a larger or higher rez display may be what you need.

Yes it is quite impossible to tell what kind of advice to give on upgrading when you give NO ideas as to what you are currently running.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti

AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor, 3800 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Antec 750w PSU

8GB Adata DDR3 RAM (2 4GB sticks)

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Motherboard

My monitor is a 5 year old HDTV with 1360 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)

I hope this is enough information, if it's not just tell me what you need to know.

I had asked if anyone had an easy-ish way of listing my parts, when I had an answer to that I proceeded to double check all of my parts and then posted them.

Anyone have any suggestions? My current build is posted above!

Get yourself a proper monitor. There's nothing worse than gaming on a low resolution television. Treat yourself with a good resolution (1920x1080 - 2560x1440) and a nice refresh rate, something a bit higher than 60Hz. $400 is enough and this would be a very beneficial upgrade to your setup.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is there an optimal refresh rate to look for? Or is it just the higher the number the better the performance?

The higher the number the smoother your pc will look, so yes more performance for your display.
