Hey I was seeing if I could get some quality advice and help with a new build. My budget is around $500-$600 range. I currently need a new GPU, SSD, possibly RAM & PSU (if my current ones need upgrading), OS, and if the budget allows a new sexy case.

The items I currently have from a 3yr old system are listed below:


CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($192.99 @ SuperBiiz)

CPU Cooler: Enermax Liqmax II 120 96.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($55.99 @ Newegg)

Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($56.98 @ SuperBiiz)

Memory: Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($29.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Storage: Western Digital Blue 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.49 @ OutletPC)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card

Power Supply: Corsair CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($65.98 @ Newegg)


I greatly appreciate the help!

What are your plans for the system? While an SSD should help you a lot, a Blue 5400 rpm drive is no good as a main drive, the GTX 760 is about the same speed as a newer GTX 950 which is a solid mid range video card. I'd keep your parts aside from going to an SSD and wait a bit till you are struggling with past Medium in new games. For an SSD, the Evo 950 models are the go to parts, say a 512 GB so you can run programs off it with no worries about space.
