========== Upgrade goals in no particular order ==========
Case --> Looking for a low noise option
with a side window 
and good airflow. Other people in the household do not want to hear the fans at night . So far, I like the Silverstone Raven RV03, but I am open to other suggestions.
--> Also looking to add lighting effects. The video card is UV reactive and I perfer a blue tone.
System RAM --> Add another 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB kit
; See top of thread.
Storage --> Thinking about a RAID-5 or RADI0+1 setup because this system doubles as a network backup and media server. The HDDs will be replaced to achieve this.
Monitor --> Looking for good deals on 1900 x 1080/1200 to add/replace.
