Hey there Tom's Hardware!
I have this system which I built 1.5 years ago:
AMD Athlon II x3 445 (unlocked to phenom II x4)
HD 5770
Asus M4A79XTD EVO
4GB DDR3-1333 RAM
Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB HDD
Zalman CNPS9700NT
Corsair VX-550W PSU
And at the time it was good for the price. These days its still pretty good (well... good enough for me and my wallet), but I'm looking to upgrade it just a bit. I don't have the money for a big RAM/CPU/MOBO/GPU upgrade - at most I'd be spending $200NZD ($100-$150USD).
What's the best thing for me to upgrade? Consider that I do game, but not very much and not competitively. Plus the 5770's fine for me. I'm thinking of putting a 120GB SSD in.
