Hey guys, I upgraded my CPU (and cooler), Motherboard, and RAM about a year ago.
Parts to which I upgraded: i5 3570k, GA-77 Gigabyte Mobo (RMA'd the first one I got), and G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB 1600 (12800).
My HDD has been nothing but stable for the past 6 years, so I'm debating on just leaving that in my system till I start getting some errors. Speccy has shown as well as IRST that my HDD is in good condition.
The parts I wish to upgrade to would be the Cooler Master Evo XB from my 932 HAF (trying to see if anyone would buy it in my dorm), simply because its too heavy to carry around.
I would also be switching out my 6 year old antec 620w earthwatts (which has surprisingly had no issues as well) to a EVGA Supernova G2 750w fully modular.
I'm also considering buying a 970 gtx (or going with a r9 290) from a 450 gts. The only thing I noticed is that many of the graphics cards have coil whines or problems lasting. I mean as long as they provide a few years of warranty, I should be fine. But I'm just debating on whether or not I should wait for the 960 gtx (if thats a thing) or wait for Nvidia's next line of gpu's.
Thanks for helping me out.
*EDIT* I feel like I'm dishing out too much money for the 970, what are your thoughts?
*Update* Reconsidered and will not be getting a new case or PSU (till it dies), instead I'll just open it up and clean it.
