My setup was originally a HP Pavilion p7-1235: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883157361
Below will be what was replaced/added; anything not mentioned wasn't replaced/added.
MOBO: ASRock B75 PRO3-M: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157329
CPU: Intel i5-3470: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115234
PSU: XFX Core Edition PRO650W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014
GPU(added): MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozr OC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699
Soundcard(added): ASUS Xonar DG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020&Tpk=ASUS%20Xonar%20DG
I know how to overclock the processor in the UEFI and have MSI Afterburner for overclocking the graphics card. I'm an avid gamer who is rather used to just selecting the Ultra preset (Well, besides Crysis and Metro) and would like to continue to do so or keep as close as possible for next-gen, more powerful games. I'm currently eyeing Watch_Dogs, which I'm sure would do fine anyways, but I'm also making sure I'm good for down the line as the biggest upgrade I'd possibly be getting any time soon is the GTX 760.
I didn't think this was worth a whole thread, but the hard drive from my HP Pavilion is aging I believe. I'm quite used to the space of 1TB, so any possible recommendations that are plausible, as in not too crazily priced?
I feel like I'm asking a lot, so I appreciate any sort of reply. Thank you in advance.
