Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my PC to be able to run new games for a few years. I've done small and cheap upgrades before, but I want to get something serious now. I'm looking to spend around $800, but I'm willing to go over if I need to. I've gotten some advice from friends and put together a cart of items, so I figured now would be a good time to come here for some advice.
My current specs are the stock HP Pavilion p6717c with an upgraded GPU/PSU (AMD HD 7850 1GB/500W PSU):
HP p6717c
Here is what I was looking at getting for now:
GTX 770 4GB GPU
i5-3570K CPU
750W PSU
(I'm unsure about the motherboard and case because if I can find a decent smaller motherboard that is big enough for all of my other parts and the HP case that I have, I would like to avoid spending money on a new case.)
Motherboard
Case
So, I only have two specific questions:
1. Are there any other motherboards I can get that will have enough room for the rest of the parts and cause minimal, if any, performance loss? ( I would like to avoid buying a new case if I can, unless I can get one cheap. )
2. With this setup what other parts/accessories are required? (Surge protectors/fans/Memory/ect)
I would also like any general advice on the build. Like whether it bottlenecks, has compatibility/space issues, or if there are better/cheaper parts available.
