DIAMELO Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 So I've been planning on getting some much needed upgrades for my pc again for about a year now... So I was hoping some of you pc gurus could help me choose some good parts for what I'm planning on upgrading/adding to my system. My budget is somewhat low $700-1000. and this is my current system: CASE: Cooler Master Elite 310 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AMD 9 Series FX Motherboard CPU: AMD FX-8120 Processor - Eight Core CPU Cooler: Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System RAM: Corsair Vengeance - 8GB (2x 4GB), PC3-12800, DDR3-1600MHz Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ SSC Edition 512MB Sound Card: Onboard Power Supply: Ultra LSP550 550-Watt Power Supply HDD: 250GB-Seagate, 500GB-WesternDigital Cooling: Cheap case fans Operating System: Windows 8 Pro Display Monitor(s): ASUS VH198T 19-Inch LED Monitor res-1440x900 Headset: Cooler Master Ceres -400 (its broken now ) Mouse: Microsoft Wireless 5000 Laser Mouse Keyboard: CHERRY STREAM XT Black I've been looking around newegg and found some parts that I think would go great with my current system, just post below if you know of anything better within the price range or if the stuff I chose are ok (I just want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck ). Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 HIS Radeon HD 7850 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161426 NZXT Phantom Black Steel ATX Full Tower (not sure about this one just yet, the few bad reviews kinda kill it for me) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068 ASUS VS Series 23" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236175 This is all I got for now, let me know if I should switch anything out or if I should add anything else to the list, and thanks for the help!
