What should I upgrade?

[Deleted member 1964422]

Hi, I was wondring of anyone had some opinons if I should upgrade my CPU, graphics card etc.


My current specs:

i7 3770
Noctua NH-U14S
MSI B75MA-P45
Gainward GTX760 (Not Phantom)
Fractal Design R2 XL
2x4 GB Kingston Genisis 1600mhz Ram
Corsair CX650M

So, here is my dilemma: I need a new motherboard for more PCI Express x16 slots, and the cooler does not properly fit. Should i just upgrade the motherboard (Rare because of socket 1155) or upgrade CPU, Ram and motherboard to a newer generation? I was also wondering if I should upgrade the graphics card to, either a SLI setup with GTX690. (Then i'll need to upgrade the PSU too). I have also searched around on the web after a window for the Fractal Design R2 XL premade, or a guide to make it yourself, can someone help me with that too? Any recomendations helps! Remeber, since i'm only 13, i need to choose between either upgrading Motherboard etc, or the GTX760.


Thanks for Norway.

It depends on what you want to do with new parts and your budget.

My budget is around is around 650 dollars. I'm also going to game the most, do some grapich design, render videos, edit videos/render and a little bit of music production.

What do you need the upgrade for? Games? Editing? Please specify, I don't want to suggest something that is pointless to your build.
