Hi guys,

I would like to share my current rig and ask for any reco / suggestions..

Spec::

Mobo: ECS X58B-A2 BLACK (x58)

Cpu: Intel Core i7 920 (Bloomfield 1366)

Mem: (x2) Kingston DDR3 1333 2Gb

Gpu: ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 5670

Psu - Corsair 400w

*As adviced by one of the members (Thaisnang) before, upgrading my GPU and my PSU should do me good if only for gaming setup. But I'm also thinking if upgrading my current rig with a few more parts would also be ok too while saving for later to get a better rig - or if getting this proposed rig could also be a good start and simply upgrade later on?

(This is the proposed build that I could afford ATM..)

Mobo: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 (wish list: Asus Z97 Maximus VII Impact)

Cpu: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core

Mem: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866

Gpu: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB TWIN FROZR (wish list: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G)

Psu: XFX 750W ATX

Case: Corsair 450D ATX

What could you guys suggest? is my current rig still good and just upgrade some parts or should I really try getting a new rig now and then upgrade later? (Budget-conscious here)
