Hello i have a question... Our my parts upgradeable? ... Like i may want to spend a lil more maybe for AMD Phenom ii x4 965 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 650? Or can you explain which is better and why you recommended the AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4 Ghz Quad core processor and the EVGA Geforce GTX 660 2GB instead of the Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 ?

The 750K is very cheap, and performs pretty well, for a budget CPU, in games.
And the GTX 660 is just much faster than the GTX 650.

Here is what i ended up getting... What do you think?

CPU : Dual core, 3.6 GHz, with a wasted integrated graphics, since you have a dedicated one that is much faster. Not the best choice there.
Motherboard : Not the best brand... but oh well, I guess it'll still do the job...
Memory : Good choice.
Storage : You're going to hate the 5400 RPM.
GPU : Good choice.
Case : Does the job.
Power supply : Fine.

What do you mean about the CPU ? Can you recommend me one cause the other one you recommended i was told was for editing photos and videos and stuff and the quad core doesn't matter in gaming ? idk . & Why will i hate the 5600 RPM? & Is there any other quick way i can talk to you so you can help me?
