I currently have

ASUS P8H61-M LX2 MOBO
Intel Core i5-2500k @ 3.30GHz
ASUS HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2 (Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card)
16 (2x8) DDR3 GB RAM
Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU

As the topic suggests I'm looking to Update/Upgrade my system. I know I will need a new Mobo, and I'm looking to take advantage of the CrossFireX. I dont' think I need any more RAM And i'm not sure If I need to update the Processor or not. This was the most helpful site with my last build so I'm hoping for similar results! Thanks in advance!.

I'm not a *Heavy* gamer anymore Diablo 3, Border Lands, Planet Side 2, LOL ... Those kinds of games. if that gives any help as to what sort of upgrades i'm looking for. I also have a feeling that I'm going to need to replace a failing HD very soon as well (only dread that because I don't know where my windows CD / Key are haha)

New Motherboard and CPU, you can keep everything else.
 


Thanks for the quick reply. I might also look into a SSD, bot the PSU and Mobo look like they will fit nicely with my budget and my current rig!
