Okay, so I built this thing awhile back and just added the SSD last month. I love her to death, but I feel like she's falling behind the times. I'll have a budget of about $600 to put in some good upgrades. I think mostly what I'll need is a CPU, GPU and PSU? Maybe a case (the wiring system in this one is pretty crappy) and MOBO (current case front usb 3.0 can't connect to mobo which kind of sucks, but this mobo has plenty on back.)
I use her for gaming and I just want to be able to go from reliable mid quality to high end again. I'd like to carry over as many parts as I possibly can to keep costs down.
I'm located in Utah, US if that helps with pricing?
