I'm moving from Japan to the US next week, taking my current computer with me. For weight/space reasons I'll be ditching my case/PSU in Japan and buying new ones when I get home. I figure that since I'll be ordering from newegg anyway that I might as well do a bit of upgrading at the same time.
My current system is:
AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8GHz

GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193
SAPPHIRE 100245HDMI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824
It was originally a budget gaming rig I built 2 or so years ago after browsing through this forum. I don't have any particular complaints about its performance, but obviously things could be better.
I'd appreciate any advice re: a decent budget case/PSU and what be the most effective place to throw a couple hundred dollars at. Thanks!
