Hey guys, been doing plenty of upgrades to my PC, I started off with just a Pentium G3258 and 750TI and oh how horrible that was... So decided to get a few things to which is now my current build listed:
CPU: I5-4670K 3.2GHZ OC'able to 4.8 (haven't)
Cooler: CM Hyper D92
GPU: Gigabyte WindForce GTX 780 3GB OC Edition
HDD: 1TB 7200RPM Western Digital Blue
RAM: 2X4GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black @1866MHZ
Motherboard: AsRock H81M-DGS
Case: Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition (Already upgrading)
I've considered upgrading pretty much everything but want to know the order of importance, the things I've most heavily considered are:
1. 8GB -> 16GB RAM
2. Removing hard drive and buying 1 or 2 500GB samsung 850 evo's replacing it, can grab a 500GB 850 EVO or a lower tier 750 EVO for $189-219 dollars
3. Doing a 780 -> 980 upgrade (Have a local PC reseller in my area who does trade ins and I can grab one off him with my 780 + $200 or less, he does very good deals)
4. Getting a watercooling all in one to prevent thermal bottlenecking (Friend always says that my temps aren't safe even though I have a pretty good air cooler)
Things that are manditory are getting a MITX motherboard soon, as I am getting a new BitFenix Phenom MINI itx case, but that doesn't matter, just want your own opinions on what I should prioritise as I know alot of these are important. It would be really helpful if you could explain how all of these upgrades could benefit or be a waste of money too.
Looking forward to your information! Please help me out
