Hi, I'm currently upgrading my computer and buying new components for it. I'm a gamer and want the newest games to run smoothly even while streaming them for example on twitch.tv. Could you please tell me which parts would need to be replaced in order to pull the best performance out of it? :) Also, if there's a part my cooler wouldn't handle in your opinion, could you recommend me some good coolers? Also, please pardon me if some of the translation or my english is incorrent, I'm not a native speaker. And if some of the parts you recommend don't fit into the box, could you also tell a new one in where everything would?

Thanks, Piip.

My current spec:
Core: Chieftec, PSu Super Series, CFT-500A-12S, 500W, PFC
Case: COOLERMASTER MidT Elite 332 without core, black
MB: GIGABYTE MB Sc 775 EP45-DS3R, Intel P45
CPU: CPU INTEL Core 2 Quad Q6600 4x2,40GHz 8MBL2 CONROE - BOX
Cooler: CPU Cooler Titan TTC-NK34TZ Heatpipe
RAM: DIMM DDR2 4GB, 800MHz, A-DATA, CL4-4-4-12 (KIT 2X2GB) EE
Optics: ASUS DRW2014L DVD+-R/RW LightScribe
HDD: Samsung 500 GB SATA II 7200 RPM, 16 MB Cache-3 years
VGA: AMD RADEON HD 7850/PCI-E 3.0

No, the GPU is fine, HD 7850 is a great card...and should serve you well, you could run most games at medium/high settings and be fine with good frame rates.

If you want to upgrade on a budget, might I suggest an AMD build to get you there?

For $536.00 that build keeps your current GPU and upgrades everything else dramatically. You could reuse your current case to save another $46 if you want also, and that includes a new windows 8 license for $90.00 as well. If you already have windows you can install onto the HDD that would knock the cost of the build down to $400.00

It includes:
CPU: AMD FX6300
MoBo: Gigabyte 970A-UD3
RAM: Corsair 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache...

Thanks for the answer. Even the graphic card? Because the graphic card is quite a new one.

Thanks, however, I dont think im gonna risk overclocking, i heard its very risky and can screw up your computer if done wrongly. I dont think that the 5% upgrade is worth that :\
