I have had my computer for about a year and a half now and I feel that it is time for an upgrade! I have 500$ but I could save up more. This computer is used for gaming and that is about it. I prefer to play on high video settings. These are my computer's components right now:
Graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti FPB (1 GB)
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE @ 3.7GHz
Mother Board: ASUS M5A97
RAM: 2 Corsair Vengeance (8 GB)
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue (500 GB, which is plenty for me)
Could you guys please suggest what part I should upgrade and what I should upgrade it to. I was thinking that I should upgrade to an i7 because my CPU is that worst part in my computer in my opinion but then I would have to buy another mother board and I heard that the CPU is not that important when it comes to gaming. My monitor is 1920x1080 and so I plan to play games at that resolution until I need a new monitor (which should not be any time soon). The more detail that you can provide the better.
