Author Topic: What should I upgrade to my PC?  (Read 1744 times)

I have some money, and firstly I thought of buying some pocket digital camera, because I walk like 10 km everyday, and it's like, you know, worth the view.
But then I decided not to, for instead to upgrade my PC

This is my PC as of now:

Motherboard: ASRock H61M-VS
Bios updated on 3 March 2011.
PSU: 500w
Processor Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 4096 MBytes DDR3 Corsair (1333 MHz)
Display: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1Gb: Palit Sonic Platinum
Display mode: 1920 x 1080 (60Hz, 1080p)
Monitor: LG Flatron E2360 Widescreen
Network Adapter: Atheros
Hard disk: 2 Terrabytes total - Kingston

What should I upgrade on it to get better FPS in general, and also for filming? I can only upgrade one.
I will also sell the respective component I have to pay up for the next one.

I am thinking about getting a separate HDD, but that costs quite a lot if I want a good Write rate, and I also want my current one, so forget it.

I am thinking about changing my CPU to i7-2600k or upgrading my RAM to like, 8GB on 1600. I also thought about GPU, but what I heard of is that my CPU is already quite underpowered to my current GPU, so that's out of the discussion.

So the question is, should I just keep on money trying to get another HDD or GPU which might be worthless, or should I just take the CPU or RAM?
Aaand would my PSU be able to keep up with it?
...Or the camera which was the first idea?



It needs blue LEDs


Lots of them.

Also 2 TB wtf. Even my massive backup drive didn't have that much space. What would you need that for?

That would do for cooling.

I infact have no coolers yet except for GPU and CPU, I have no case coolers.  :cookieMonster:

It was a pre-built PC, finally decided to forget the warranty in the ass and just add my own crap, it was crap anyway.

Also, you have no idea how much research I can put in it.


So you do have money.

Never said I didn't, I just don't have a credit card.  :cookieMonster:

I don't have one and I can still buy my stuff online.

I hear red is the colour of fast.
Paint it red and it will go faster!

Thanks, My laptop needed a upgrade!

cpu
ram
gpu

At least that's a normal response.

And for the loving record: The Steam games and Led lights are for the lulz, I am not going to choose either no matter the votes (notice the caps, lol at beginning and fused words).

Also, 3770 is a bit more powerful than the 2600k.

Also, you have no idea how much research I can put in it.
Is there even enough research in existence to fill that? 2000 GB is immense.

I could fill half of it with those pictures of myself I sell to the homeless man at the park.
