You'll have to get a new motherboard if you plan on getting an intel cpu. I wouldn't bother with i7-960 as it's dead technology. Intel is using Sandy bridge now. Grab an i5 2500k cpu with a asus p67 pro motherboard and enjoy.

Er, no you cannot put an Intel CPU on an AMD board.

Also, you cannot put DDR3 RAM into a DDR2 board.

We need to know the brand and model of the PSU.

The proper upgrades if you are sure you want to:
■Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K
■GIGABYTE GV-N560OC-1GI GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
■ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
■G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
TOTAL: $708.46

I see. I'll get that instead, it's much cheaper too. Thanks.

Ah, I didn't know that about motherboards. I believe this is my PSU: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26414

Thank you for the list of upgrades.

That is a good PSU. Let us know what you want to do with this PC and we can better help you to build what you need for the best price.

Those parts are for gaming. Looks like for 700 dollars you've got a nice upgrade!

 

[Joshwaa]

Pretty much just for gaming. Are those parts not good for this?

The parts that Proximon linked for you are quite nice. If that does not match your budget then let me know I will give you some other Ideas.

The processor is probably more than you need for gaming but if you ever plan to overclock the K processor is the way to go. K = Unlocked Multiplier

 

[Proximon]

Or just learn to overclock the CPU you already have, but the motherboard probably would have to be replaced anyway.
