And that doesn't tell us what processor it is. important info: CPU GPU Ram HDD/SSD MB The most important upgrade is pretty much always GPU.... P.s. where'd you get that list from anyway?

Christley </3 Peelz Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 only thing to upgrade imo is the graphics card first and then maybe the processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 only thing to upgrade imo is the graphics card first and then maybe the processor agreed. I'd upgrade to W7, but other than that theres no real need to upgrade anything else. (although i would start with the GPU if you wanted to upgrade).

Vegan T-Rex Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Nah, the 2500K will last you a while. Get a Cooler Master Seidon 120M so you can overclock it (feed it more electricity so it has higher performance, but will produce more heat. Hence the need for a better cooler) Also get the 650 out of your system. It hurts just thinking about the 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah, the 2500K is still a high end processor. Hardly any improvement in 3rd and 4th generations. I think that the 650 is a bit weak though. I mean, if it plays your games, no problem. But it's not that great for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christley </3 Peelz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 560ti all the way why? its an old series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 560ti all the way What Christley said. Not only is it two series old, it's a different miroarchitecture than the more recent ones, which results in higher power draw, higher temperatures, and, well, it's slower. Not to mention discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention discontinued. That thing was amazing for the price though. I remember when I was building for the first time, I thought that I would get dual 560 Tis. #shameful.
