So yeah guys, i have decided to buy a new pc.
due to little budget problem iam going to buy stuffs each paycheck, and in meanwhile iam going to use stuffs from my old PC.

Reason For Upgrade: Run BF4 and other games at High~Ultra Settings, and Overclocking,
This would be my first OC rig.

My Current Config is:
My current Config is
Processor: Intel core i5 e2500 3.30ghz (second Gen)
Mainboard: Intel DH61WW
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4gb x2 (Red version)
GPU: Power Color HD 6670
PSU: Cooler Master extreme power plus 460w
Cabinet: Cooler Master elite 310



In December's Paycheck iam going to buy:
Case: NZXT Phantom 530
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty Z77
PSU: Corsair TX650M / TX650
Acc: NZXT Hue, few fans for case

iam going to fit all the remaining stuffs from my old Rig

In Jan's Paycheck:
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz (Reason behind buying 3rd gen is, that there wont be a wait game, i can use my old processor in the mobo, while i save up for this, will change this end of year)
Cooler: NZXT Kraken x60 / Corsair H100i (need little help here)


In Feb's Paycheck:
GPU: R9 280x
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4gb x2 (total 4gbx4)

In March's Paycheck:
Monitor: Benq 27" LED
SSD: Samsung 120 gigs

In April's Paycheck:
HDD: WD caviar red 2 TB
Keyboard: some corsair Mechanical keyboard


In the End the Rig should Look Like

Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty Z77
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4gb x4
GPU: R9 280x
PSU: Corsair TX650M / TX650
Case: NZXT Phantom 530

I would switch it up a bit in terms of when to buy parts. Also, please clarify this "wait game". Are the vendors where you live sold out on *87 motherboards / CPUs? But I will post up Haswell.

December
Motherboard - ASRock Fatal1ty Z87
CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K
HDD - Western Digital Black 1TB
Case - [Your Choice]

January
Monitor - Benq 27" LED
Accessory - Keyboard & Mouse if budget allows. Just buy some very cheap ones.
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

February
GPU - R9 280X
PSU - Corsair TX650M

March
SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

The way it's structured is so you can get a build up and running in the shortest amount of time. While gaming won't be accomplished until you get your new GPU, you can at least still use the computer.

I opted out of the extra set of 2x4GB RAM because loading all your slots makes it tougher to overclock. And considering this is your first time overclocking, I would not recommend that. 8GB is plenty. But if you must have 16GB, then go for 2x8GB in dual-channel configuration.

I chose the i5 over the i7 because you would see very little, and almost unnoticeable, increase upgrading to an i7 that is about $100 more in price when it comes to gaming. Overall, I think the parts I listed will fit your budget within that month frame. Let me know if you need further help.

Yes. The Cooler Master Elite 310 supports microATX and ATX motherboards. So in that regards, you can push the case down to when you buy the new PSU. Because at that time, you'll have to re-do all the cables anyways.



Yes. The CPU and motherboard do not use much power. It's your graphics card that hogs up most of it. Hence why I grouped that purchase together. While your Cooler Master PSU is not the best on the market, it should run it fine until the upgrade.
