Hello,

I hace a pc with this components:
Case: LIAN LI PC-60FNW
Motherboard: ASUS P6T SE X58
Processor: I7 920 2.66GHZ
Ram: 6gb 3x2 OCZ 1333MHZ 10666
PSU: TACENS RADIX III 720W
Graphic card: GTX 285

Im thinking in doing an upgrade, changing my graphic card for a gtx760
adding 2gb of ram and do OC to the processor, buying a new cpu fan probably a cooler master 212 evo.
On the other hand i may buy a new pc with something better like a gtx770 or something like that.
Would you recommmend me to upgrade or to buy a new pc, im not sure if my current components are good enough to worth an upgrade.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english xd

That i7 920 is still a very capable CPU, it shouldn't hold back something like the GTX 760 very much even at stock speeds so I'd say that system still has some life left.

As you've already mentioned, adding more RAM to a total of 8GB, OC'ing the CPU wth a new cooler and adding a new card like a 280x or GTX 770 would definitely be worth your while.

Also another thing you could consider, purchasing an SSD so your windows boot speed and game loading will be much faster.

And since your power supply could handle a power hungry GTX 285, most of these newer single GPUs shouldn't be a problem.
