[Qurion2]

Hello,

my current specs are:
CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5300 @ 2.6.00GHz
Motherboard: Gigabytes EG41MF-US2H
GraphicCard: Gigabytes GTX 560TI OC
RAM: 3GB
Power Supply: (I will add this information later after having had some sleep, need to look for the box :s)

Did you build it yourself or did you buy it from a manufacturer?

If you have some cash to blow, i would really look into a new motherboard. Something like 1155, and grabbing an i5 2500k. Socket 775 is REALLY old. I did a quick search on newegg, and took a little look at websites that came up on google, and i didn't come up with any new cpus that you could upgrade too (they were all refurbished, something I am against when it comes to pc hardware).

@payturr
i mostly took everything from my very first PC and made some upgrades =/ motherboard, Power supply, CPU, graphic card

@ProSnipor
i should look into it, ~300 Euro seems to be a not too bad price

I'd buy a i3/i5, a Z77 motherboard, 4-8GB 1866 RAM, a 660ti GPU and around a 450W PSU to power that beast
