changes lots 'n' lots of changes

1 change cpu to i5 2500k
2 change mobo to asus p8p67
3 change ram to g.skill ripjaws x series 8gb
4 change hhd to western digital caviar black 500gb
5 change psu to corsair ax650

yeah, money is a issue. I am over my budget already, i cant afford to go better than what i have already. i guess my main question then is, is the computer i have decided to get better than the original? and will it be able to do what i want it to do?

Yes its better. You improved your CPU and you improved your PSU....both good things.

You could even go with a better brand name GPU for about the same money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150573&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pe-_-NA-_-NA

You could save a few more bucks with a PSU like this...still a Corsair. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

And yes, you should be able to play most games with pretty good settings and a pretty good resolution. It's a good value build.

im all about the value lol. all up its come to $820, might be a bit steep for what it is, but its the best price i could get without ordering online and i am kind of restricted in that area.
