Help for Dell inspiron 660 upgrade £500 BUDGET

[OZFRecon]

So basically I have this Dell Inspiron 660 (not current gen) and I want to upgrade it so I can play games at high settings. My monitor resolution is 1600x900 and I haven't made any previous upgrades to it. I want to upgrade my CPU (currently an i3 2130), graphics card and ram (at the moment it's about 4gb). Now as you may see from the title, I have a £500 budget to spend although I may be able to go up to £600. I've done a little bit of research and here's what I've come up with*:

• 
  Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 6Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0)
  
  Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
  
  Kingston Technology HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB DIMM Memory Module (Kit of 2)
  
  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
  
  Arctic Cooling MX-4 4g Thermal Compound

*All prices are from Amazon

Total: £444.56

So yeah, unfortunately the i3 2130 uses 1155 sockets so no haswell for me But that doesn't matter because university's coming up soon Anyways, I digress but yeah, let me know what you think of this and make improvements on it please + it would be nice to be cheaper than my original price as I might get the consoles as in future, I may get the next gen consoles. ohh the irony

Hey man Im getting the same pc but the current gen one. Do you know if your gpu will fit and if the motherboard can take dual slot gpu's? Im gonna put a msi twin frozr radeon 7850 3gb oc in it and a new psu. I just dont know if it'll fit in the case.

Hmmm... this Dell Inpsiron 660 is pretty big (well by my standards) so size is no matter. The motherboard probably won't take dual gpus but atm sli is not a priority so that doesn't matter. I'm guessing that you probably need something like 500w psu to handle the 7850. The 7850 is a pretty good card though =) Make sure you don't buy the dell inspiron 660 slim as that is too small to make any significant upgrades
