Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my computer (more like build a new computer, but taking parts from my current one). Can I get some feedback to what you guys think? Anywhere I can save money at the cost of a nonsignificant performance decrease or spend a little extra to get a significant performance boost: tips like that :)

 

Most of the new stuff I just went with what had lots of good reviews on Newegg.com and is "up there" in terms of performance.

 

NEW:

 

Mobo:

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

CPU:

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K

CPU Cooler:

SSD:

Samsung 830 120 GB

 

REUSING:

Case:Antec 300 (+fans)

PSU:Corsair TX650

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD5770 (I will upgrade this eventually, but it's pretty decent it seems)

Memory: 2 x 4 GB, DDR3 1600

HDDs: 2 x 2TB 5400RPMs, 2 x 1.5TB 7200 rpms, 1 x 640GB 7200 RPM (hitachi, seagate, WD, respectively)

Mouse/Keyboard/Speakers/Monitor/DVD-ROM/Other

 

Am I forgetting anything? Thanks for reading! :bazooka:
