Right, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on some parts. I'll post my current spec, which I've had for a couple of years now, and try to make this quick.
Current Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
CPU: AMD FX8350
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti
Storage: 2x Seagate Barracuda, both 1 TB
PSU: Seasonic Bronze S12ii-520W
Case: CiT Vantage Midi Mesh Gaming PC Case
Now obviously this build isn't amazing, but it's always done what I asked it to, running most of my games on fairly high settings. However, a friend of mine recently got an upgrade, making his PC way better than mine, and causing me to realize I may need to change some things.
Now, I have around £200 and will have a fair bit more soon, hopefully allowing me to upgrade the GPU at around Christmas. (Recommendations for one?)
Next, the case mentioned functions as a box to stop stuff falling out, but that's about it. Two LED's have died, and I had to remove a case fan to fit the cooler in. Basically it's tiny, so, that's pretty much a must for upgrading, so any case recommendations?
Also, will a new GPU, etc. require a better PSU? Any other upgrades I should consider first?
TL;DR - Case (And possibly PSU) for £200, and a GPU for future consideration.
THANKS!
