Looking to spend 400$ to upgrade current system

[hornsan]

Here is my current setup:

MOBO: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155
Memory: 8gb Corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3
Processor: i5-2500k
GPu: msi gtx 670
Cooling: corsair h80
Case: Corsair Carbide 600T
Storage: OCZ agility 3 120gb and seagate barracuda 500 gb 5400rpm
PSU; corsair 650 watt

Can my PSU handle the added card?

This is my home pc and is mostly used for school and intermediate to heavy gaming.
I have 400$ in Amazon gift cards that I would like to spend on upping my system.
Any thoughts?

you can replace the hdd by a 1to 7200 rpm
you can replace your cpu by the i5 3570K...take less power consumption ...and faster by 15%
your gpu is enough powerful...keep it

I wouldn't change the cpu,just overclock it if you want faster.

The only thing that would be a little better would be another gpu,aside from the hdd.If this gpu plays everything at settings and fps as you like is this pc good and needs no upgrade.

it's a pretty well balanced rig so any upgrade (replacing parts) would not give you that much better of a performance. If anything I recommend getting a 2nd 670 if your mobo and psu support it. If not just save it for the next build in a couple years or spend on other stuff (mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers, etc.)

EDIT
your mobo support
- Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX™, 3-Way CrossFireX™ and CrossFireX™
- Supports NVIDIA® Quad SLI™ and SLI™
so YES! is a good idea to add an other gpu gtx 670

That;s actually for amd cards,but it also indeed does support sli and a second card would indeed be the best upgrade for more performance.Didn't think of that one,shame shame.

My specific gpu is no longer made and very hard to find at a reasonable price.

Does SLI work as long as the two cards are both a 670? Or must the be the exact same card?

Thanks so far guys!

 

[badboyrog2]

no need to be the same brand ...just two gtx 670

I know that you know.Just told that for the readers that don't know. (think that's about this?)

Is my PSU going to be sufficient at 650 watts

''Is my PSU going to be sufficient at 650 watts''

YES! just on the border

Depends also on which corsair psu and overclocking or not.
