Any help would be greatly appreciated. I AM on a budget so cannot upgrade the entire system. Looking for the most needed 1 or possibly 2 parts.

Thanks!!!

Maybe $300 max.

Have to side with Obsidian86, that is some good advice. I don't believe raidmax is known for making good PSU's, and the 5770 is suppose to be decently powerful, and OCing that CPU will definately bring out a lot more potential.

Beyond that I can't even think of anything else that you would need.

yeah a gpu holds more sway over a gaming then a cpu
