So I have been researching on upgrading my 560. its still stock for now, but would like to make up a x-mas list. Uses for the PC are basic web browsing. occasional heavy gaming. games such as Battlefield 3 / bf4. Id like to upgrade the Processor, Memory, and Graphics card. and if required the power suppy

1. CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550

2. Ram: 8gb ddr3 1333

3. GPU: was thinking the asus HD 7850 2gb DDR5

4. PSU: if needed was thinking 500w

this list is not set in stone so any advice for changes and why the change would be greatly appreciated

you cant upgrade your cpu cause it looks like you already at the top with core 2quad and 8gb is more then enough but what you can do is upgrade motherboard to a more modern setup like the new i5's and it make pc feel brand new with a bout 10-20 fps boost
