I currently own a xps 8300 with a i7 2600(LGA 1155), 8Gb RAM (4 x 2Gb 240 Pin-1600) 500 Gb HD, recently installed another 250Gb, it has a 460 watt PSU, and the video card currently is a Radeon HD 6450. I was just looking to replace the video card, case, and PSU but now Im thinking its better to replace the mobo too. I'm pretty set on a case already http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139015
I would need a micro ATX or a ATX mobo and also a PCIE 3.0 slot just so I'm not outdated in 6 months. I'm pretty open for PSU and video cards. I would like to try and stay under $500. I don't care about nvidia or AMD whichever one is the best bang for the buck. I would like to play BF3 on high or ultra but I realize I don't think that will happen.
I am eager to hear what you guys have to say. I just want components that will last especially for the money. Thanks again!!
