Hi Guys,

I haven't built a computer in years, and I just got my hands on a slightly older PC. Looking at the components what would be my best bang for buck upgrade:

ASUS Z87-K Z87
Intel Core i5 4670K
2 X 4GB CML8GX3M2A1600C9 (Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz DDR3)
1GB XFX HD5450 DDR3 (ATI Radeon 5450)

What would be my best option to get some decent performance from these? Should I be considering Overclocking the CPU and Memory? What decent Graphics card would be an upgrade?
 
Solution
The best you can do with this build is upgrading the GPU to 1660 Super, the rest will require you replacing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM

Also specify your PSY please

Thanks for your response.

I think you meant PSU? And its a cooler master 650 (650W CM RS650)

Would overclocking not help get some additional performance?
