Could definitely use another 290..

That's some clean cable management

Here is my old Junker, built in 2009/early 2010 :

Spoiler

It packs and AMD Ahtlon II X2, a GTX 260, and 4GB of RAM which was pretty decent for it's time, it broke down on me a while ago so Im using my laptop as a replacement until I can build a new rig or fix this one, could definitely use a GPU

Spoiler

"External Air Cooler" A.K.A Standing Fan and everything, it's an ASUS N43SL, overheats like mad and performs.... let's be nice and say "OK".

So that's my setup,

Good Luck Everyone!

And this is "dirty" cable management: http://i.imgur.com/3OId7AG.jpg
Don't worry. I've cleaned up my cables since taking that picture.

I could REALLY use a new card, but i'm broke from building what I have

Gigabyte H61M-S1 Rev 2.2
Intel Celeron G1610 - 2.6GHz Dual core
MSI Nvidia GT610 2GB
4GB Gskill 1333Mhz/2GB Pareema 1333Mhz
Maxtor 250GB HDD

why did you buy that what was your budget. Not to sound rude or anything

Well i had to keep it cheap and i thought a 610 would be decent like the other 6 series cards, i was terribly mistaken.
my budget was about 300$~

dude thats like ddr3 not even gddr3. Sorry man you had a super tight budget a 750ti would be a better upgrade. This though would kill you gpu as of now. I think next time save up to 400 or 500 then a i3 or fx 6300 or 4 and a 750ti or r9 270x(go for 270x 270x = gtx 760, r9 280 = gtx 770)

Lol, buys tx650, and goes with a r9 290x with a celron XD

yeah he needs a quad core at minimum for a beast like the r9 290x. A fx 4300 or 6300 or if he saves up a i5 4590 or 670k

Well what should I go for first? A quad core or a better gpu?
im looking at this for a gpu http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=068914
and this for a cpu http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_65&item_id=050256

Those are both excellent choices as an upgrade from what you have now. Just make sure your motherboard can support that i5 CPU.

i got your back you choose both a really bad gpu and cpu so i would go for 750ti if your a gamer or the cpu to speed up performance then save up for a r9 270x for ultra graphics 40 more dollars than 750ti tight budgets suck man sorry.

If you can overclock that high why have you not done it yet? 4.5 ghz is very impressive for a 4770k and you can notice a difference in performance. If you aren't gonna overclock I don't see why you would have gotten a "K" cpu...

Well the rules don't specify the 'rig' has to be a PC, so here's my Raspberry Pi, which is far more interesting than my PC

 

[Baumy15]

here's mine

total cost 782.00 and its a beast

cpu: intel pentiun G3220 (upgrading to the G3258) best price performance cpu
motherboard: MSI Z87Mgaming 3 motherboard (that's why I want the G3258)
RAM: Kingston HyperX
GPU: NVidia Geforce GTX 600 (got it for 130 dollars)
HDD Westerd digitan Scorpio blue (need a upgrade asap its not very fast)
CASE: aerocool DS cube black window edition (spent abit to much on it I think but very very nice case)

would love that GPU....... good luck to everyone else

you have to be in it to win it!!!

Be aware people are submitting fake pictures. I search by google'd this, and found it. It's Origin's not his.

Haha! you have to be quite dumb to take a picture of a Origin PC displayed at a show and submit it as your own... anyways nice of you to call him out making it easier to notice ;D

Don't upgrade to the G3258, it's basically the same CPU as you have, just with the ability to overclock. If you want to see a real difference save up and upgrade to an i5/xeon/i7.
