I am looking to upgrade my gaming desktop around Christmas time and was wondering if someone could give me a good suggestion for parts given my budget $500.

My current specs are:

ASROCK Z77 Pro4
8GB RAM
Nvidia 750ti
Older i5 processor (can't remember model)
1TB Hitachi HDD

I would like to get a new processor and gpu, as well as an SSD. So this is where all the money would go. This is what i was thinking:


SAMSUNG 250 EVO 250GB
Nvidia 1050ti gaming
Intel Core i5 6500

Is there a better combination out there? I really just threw this together quickly so I'm sure I could get something better for my money.

I doubt you need to upgrade the cpu if it's an i5 which fits on a z77 motherboard.

Get a GTX 1060 6GB and the SSD. You would probably have enough for a 500GB SSD after buying the 1060 or maybe bump the RAM up to 16 gigs.
