System Upgrade, need some suggestions

ninjadudexp · Jul 30, 2013

So let me list what i have first
CPU: i7-3770
Mobo: asrock extreame 4
GPU: Crossfire set up of Redeon 7770's (2 of them)
Storage: 1 Tb WD green
Ram: 8 Gig venegnce (2x4gig)
CPU fan: Cool masater
Chassis: phanton 410
optical drive: liteon 124
power supply: antec gaming power fully module 750w gold

So ive started working still in college i dont spend money on much so ive been saving up and was considering upgrading the computer a bit i use the desk top for just about everything mainly gaming but, i have it set up so that the whole house is streaming media from my computer, so its also a pretty dependent on being a little media server which is why i have the i7 for trans-coding on the fly
other than what is listed i have nothing else in it, what are some suggestions that can make a difference in performance, or help over all

I personally think i should upgrade the mobo
and i am already gonna get a barracuda 3tb hard drive and maybe a ssd

but any other suggestions, or addons that can be benifital

links would be great too

Theres nothing you could really upgrade on that build to make it better, maybe the graphics cards to a high end single card, but IMO even that would be a waste of money.

thanks for the imput, thats what i kinda figured, still tho i will upgrade the harddrives, since i need more space anyways

If its a 3770k then you could buy a nice aftermarket cooler and OC easily.

If your looking for faster load/boot times and SSD could help with that.

upgrading the mobo wouldn't help with performance here.

if its not the K-edition and your mobo is the Z77 asrock extreme4, then apparently your motherboard supports easy non-K overclocking, but im not usre if its multiplier overclocking:

You mentioned you game, I recommend to upgrade to a single high-end GPU. Whatever's in your budget.

Perhaps an SSD, but that's going to be more effort than it's worth. I guess you could upgrade your GPU but it'd only be a slight upgrade unless you obviously bought a high end card, what about another monitor or keyboard lol
