This is the specs of my current PC:
i5-2400
AS Rock H61 motherboard
4 GB DDR-3 1333
2x 500 GB HDD
HD 7850
22" 1680x1050 screen
Rosewill R102 mini tower (max gpu length 9.1 inches)
Corsair 500W PSU
------------------------------------
I'm planning to use a portion of my tax refund to replace this system, this computer would be 'handed down' to a relative or turned into a Linux play box. What I'm wanting is what you consider the minimum upgrade to make it worth spending the money on a whole system, not piecemeal upgrades to this one. Where I would see SIGNIFICANT gains in capability.
I have no plans for multi-screen gaming -- my computer desk is not big enough to handle more than just one screen
