Hello everyone, I've been thinking about upgrading my PC. Yet I wasn't sure what to upgrade on it first. I bought a new case recently due to the old one being cramped and heating issues. So I own a full tower case now. One thing that bothers me is my PSU isn't modular, and I know I'll be upgrading that in time. Other than that specific item, what else could I upgrade or what order should I upgrade in?

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.40 GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB
SSD: 120 GB
Mobo: ASRock Z87 PRO3
VGA: PowerColor PCS+ HD7870
PSU: Apevia 700 Watt

With those specs, it's your GPU is what needs to be upgraded.

Get a GTX 970 or a R9 290X. And if you still have money, buy a bigger SSD.

After that, nothing else will need to be upgraded in some years.

Definitely the GPU. GTX 970 would be a good match for the price.

As mentioned above, that power supply is a real stick of poo and you do not want to risk having it fry your expensive top-of-the-line components - so best to replace it at the same time.

Lol is Antec broken or something? HCG, and Neo Ecos are seasonic... Basiq PSUs are also better than CX series so they are pretty decent too.
