This is a primarily gaming rig.
I'm expecting a large bonus anywhere from 3 months to a year from now. If I upgrade now, I would be limited to $200 USD, probably closer to $100. If I wait, I'll probably just buy more beer than I normally do until I get the bonus, and just build a new rig.
Would it be worth it to upgrade? If so, what should I upgrade. In case you're wondering, the motherboard does not support pci 3.0, but does support usb 3.0.
EDIT: Just realised my psu is a tier 5
. Emergency upgrade to the Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ NCIX US)
