Dear all,

I want to upgrade my gaming PC, which as of now has:
I5-3470
8gB RAM
Graphics: Radeon HD 7790
Motherboard :Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H
PSU: Cooler Master E600

I would like to spend 500€ top, hoping that the graphics card, PSU and RAM will continue on a future upgrade of the motherboard and CPU in some years. There is no need for me to go to highest possible hardware, but I would like to be on the safe side to use VR as well.

Thanks!
