Alright, I plan on getting a couple more fans for my PC to help with the dust problem (I have a ton of vents letting in dust)
Whats a good brand of fans I can look at?
Size: 120mm, top fan can be 140mm.

Just curious, what would you guys recommend as an upgrade in my computer?

Specs:

CPU: i7 4770k 3.5k GHz
Motherboard: MSI Z87 MPOWER
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1600MHz)
HDD: Seagate Hybrid Drive 1TB
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX770 SuperClocked with EVGA ACX Cooler 2GB
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply

(This wont be anytime extremely soon because my computer is fine as is, I'm more just curious for the future.

Maybe if your PSU is burned out buy a new one.

Um...what...? If any part was burned out why would I ask at all, common sense says to buy a new one of whatever the hell burnt out...

I also need a USB 3.0 to 2.0 adapter so I can use my front 3.0 port.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to 2.0.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to 2.0.

I think he's referring to the plug the case uses to go into a 3.0 motherboard slot.



to the standard usb 2.

Honestly have never seen one and probably would've used one with my old motherboard. (Do they exist?)

Alright guys my computer needs a serious upgrade. I don't want anything suggested that is too expensive. I'm looking to spending 200-300$ on computer parts. Right now the 3 things I'm planning on upgrading is my ancient GeForce 210 graphics card, My 2GB of RAM, And possibly my power supply which is an ATX P4 just incase the graphics card I'm planning on getting requires more power. Nal reccomended the GTX 650 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130827) which is 120$, I'm planning on getting 4-6 GB of RAM, and I don't know what power supply to get right now. I need suggestions.

GTX 660 is worth the higher price imo.  Also G.Skill has some really good ram for cheap.  Just look here.  Also how many watts do you think you will be pulling when you are finished upgrading?

[Sentry]

I ordered the GTX 650 with a new cable and a better power supply. I just need RAM now. Thanks for the link cheese.
My motherboard only has 2 slots for RAM. I'll try to find something compatible.

check my setup

look at all those loving bottles of urine.
