My first build....what should I look to upgrade first?

AMD Phenom iix4 955 BE

ASUS 785td-V EVO MOBO

4 gb G.skill (4 x 1gb)

Sapphire Radeon HD 5770

OCZ 700w PSU

WD 360gb HDD


My primary interests are gaming and surfing the web.

Hard to tell, spirlaizer. You don't have links or prices or budget for the total system. Two things to upgrade off the bat, you should get a case to put all this equipment in, and a heatsink to overclock it.

After that, the video card: GTX460 is much more powerful for gaming. The hard drive. Is that a legacy HDD left over from an old PC? If you are buying new, go with at least 500 GB or 1 TB. The prices are not that much greater for considerably more space.

Oops....forgot to mention the case. Lancool PC-K7. The entire build has cost me $591 because I found some nice deals on newegg. The HD 5770 has been nice so far, but i'm only gaming at 1280x1024. The only thing I kept from my old PC was my monitor...an old Sony 17 inch.

The HDD is brand new. I really don't need more than 300gb. I download stuff, burn it, then erase it.

I would like to overclock, but I'm afraid i'll damage something. I'm running all stock fans and my case has 3 built in fans.
