I built my computer when I got my first job. It's been a few years and now the hardware is showing its age a bit. I have 600 dollars (a little bit over is fine), where would you upgrade?

Windows 7
Cpu: Intel core i5-2500k 3.3ghz
Psu: Seasonic X650 Gold 650W
Gpu: EVGA GeForce 570 1280 MB
Ram: 8GB Ripjaws Series DDR3 1333
Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 PRO LGA 1155

either don't do anything or add a quality SSD or a big minitor. What kind of problems are you having?

Nothing more than not being able to play all my games on MAX. I just happen to have some money to spend. I DO love your idea about putting in a SDD. I actually didnt even consider that.

Hey
You have everything is good. You don't need upgrade. But if u want upgrade anything then you can add SSD and upgrade ur GPU to MSI or Gigabyte gtx 770. You will se lot of performance difference. Other parts are really good at this time. Next one year you don't need anything to upgrade. Everything comes in next one year will definitely work perfect on your build with new GPU.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.

Thank you very much. Out of curiosity, why would you suggest MSI and Gigabyte and not EVGA? Just a little nitpick

I just gave advice like Gigabyte, MSI gtx770 . Definitely you can go with EVGA. It is one of best brand which makes top quality GPUs.
Otherthing if you want to add SSD then go with Samsung 840 pro series's or Intel 530 series's. These are best quality, faster and long life than others.
You will see lot of performance difference with adding a SSD and upgrading GPU.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
