if your a gamer then id say try to upgrade your gpu. the 650 ti is probably starting to struggle a little especially if you have 1 gb, try to get a gtx 760 or 270x.

i was think of upgrading that but i wasn't sure if everything i had was compatible with what i wanted to upgrade

+1 to the graphics card upgrade. If your a light gamer and are happy with you GPU, then i'd say get an SSD. They are very fast and will be a very noticeable upgrade.

and could u possibly post links to those 2 so im not looking at the wrong ones thnks if possibly

i was gonna recommend an ssd as well but if your gaming youll benefit more from a new gpu. the hard drive you have now is perfectly fine for a gaming machine.

Upgrading your GPU would be a great move. If you do so, you'll probably need to change your PSU. Think about taking one from a more reliable brand, with a good certification and modular cabling.

Also, an SSD would be a great addition to this build. I recommend the Samsung 840 EVO.

yea ill post links give me a minute

gtx 760 superclocked, http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-2765-KR/dp/B00DHW4HXY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389218059&sr=8-1&keywords=gtx+760

270x http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-2xDVI-Graphics-GV-R927XOC-2GD/dp/B00FONITCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389218102&sr=8-1&keywords=270x

the gtx 760 performs better then the 270 and its only 20 dollars more. of course you may find both cards cheaper on other sites,

id personally go with the 760

thanks man and if i were to add a ssd what things should i put on the ssd

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

on your sdd you want to put your OS and if you have any programs you use throw them on there as well. and if your able to fit it. put what ever game you play the most on there. but really you will be fine with your current hard drive for gaming.

rvilkman · Jan 8, 2014

Well the 450W rosewill might end up limiting how powerful GPU you can get.
GTX760 and R9 270X will probably work on it though.

awesome u seem like the guy i would need to talk to if i need question about my computer is there any faster way to i could contact u when the time comes when i want to buy these things

Giovani_b · Jan 8, 2014

rvilkman :

what programs should i use to tell what wattage im using and the temperature of my parts and what not and not a virus

Oleonius · Jan 8, 2014

Giovani_b :

450W is very low for modern computers. The most recent GPUs consume much more power and you will need to change your PSU if you upgrade your actual video card.

If you do so, make sure to choose a widely trusted brand in power supplies such as XFX or Seasonic.

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

contacting me on here is as fast as anything else. i get the emails from here directly to my phone and normally respond fairly quick.

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014

500 watt minimum power supply is recommended for the gpus recommended above. but if you needed to run them on 450 for a short period of time until you get a higher psu you can.

Giovani_b · Jan 8, 2014

BN91 :

is there a program that i should use to monitor that kind of stuff like the temperature of my componets and and the wattage at which my computer isusing at the current moment

BN91 · Jan 8, 2014
