I am upgrading and need help.

[2fast4thetown_down]

I am getting the 4 upgrades in my signature and need to find the cheapest GTX 480,600 watt 80 plus certified psu,and corsair h60...i need to get it from amazon unless there is a really good deal somewhere else because I get free 2 day shipping.

Thanks for the help.

Why would you get an H60 and a GTX 480 when a Radeon 7850 and a Hyper 212 Evo would be far safer investments?

I am getting the 480 but I might get the 212 evo

The 480 is like four generations old now and a massive power hog compared to the current crop of GPUs. The 7850 is far more energy efficient and in some tests even beats a GTX 580: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7870-review-benchmark,3148.html

I have a budget of 200 what is your advice on that budgetI could go to 250

I'd say save up enough money to get a 560 at the LEAST. Don't put old hardware into your build save up and get something worth it.

The 480 is a good card for the money right?? i do want the latest and greatest stuff but I am 14 and don't have a really high budget.

On a $200 budget, first replace the Crappermaster PSU. That should cost about $60. With your remaining $140 (plus wiggle) you should be able to get a HD6850, HD7770, or if you use most of the wiggle, a GTX560.

Edit:
$60 and there's a $10 off promo code and a rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 Corsair CX500 V2 500W PSU
$134 and there's a $15 rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 Sapphire HD6850

I selected items with free shipping. You can get a HD6870 or GTX560 if you stretch that into your wiggle room.

I have the psu taken care of I have a budget of 200-250 for the graphics card.

Hyper 212 Evo - $30, $5 shipping
PC Power & Cooling 600W - $90, free shipping, $20 rebate
OCZ Vertex 4 256GB - $240, free shipping
HIS Radeon 7850 - $250, free shipping, $10 rebate

The Corsair CX600-V2 is not a 600W PSU, it's a 500W power supply; I'd advise against it. Alternatively, the Corsair TX650 costs the same as the PCP&C, but with no rebate.

I dont need a cooling psu, I am getting the tx650

I dont want the 7850 it is equal to the gtx 480 in performance...and 50 dollars more.

It was good for the money like 3 or 4 years ago - compared to the GPUs that are out now - what's out now is far superior and more energy efficient than ever. You should try to save a bit more to get a better GPU - don't settle for out of date hardware.

2 550tis????In sli will that perform well for 3-4 years??

That setup doesn't even perform well now. I switched from dual 550TIs to a single 7870 and the difference is like night and day - you want the best single GPU you can get for the money,

okay then what do I get for $200-210
