Hey guys, I want to know what GPU and CPU combo I should get to upgrade my PC. I feel like I should get an SSD for my games also, but I'm unsure. I think I also need to replace my powersupply but I need some serious feed back please.

These are my current specs:
- Intel Core i3 3220
- PNY GTX 550 TI
- Corsair Vengeance RAM 8 GB
- Thermaltake 600 WATT PSU
- ASUS P8-B75 MotherBoard
- CoolerMaster Storm Enforcer Case (Two Fans Currently)
- 500 GB WD Caviar Blue HDD

If it is a Corsair, be sure it's an AX and not some cheap RM or CX. Do keep in mind that Super Flower is the most elite PSU manufacturer, and that Corsair merely puts a sticker on units that can range from pathetic Channel Well to good Seasonic.

GTX 760 will be great for pushing 1080p.

I look into Super Flower... Thanks for your advice man!
 


In the USA the Superflowers will be under a different branding, like Rosewill Capstone (actually a SF Golden Green). The best one is the Super Flower Leadex, which is branded as the EVGA Supernova G2.

If all you are pushing is a single gpu, I'd suggest either XFX 550, Antec 620 HGC M, Seasonic 520 MII, and not anything Corsair brands below HX line, although TX v2 will do in a pinch.

Nvidia historically has far fewer problems with drivers, AMD its a 50/50 chance of a miserable experience.
