Help with bulding a new gaming PC build :)

[KuroOuji]

So i want to upgrade my PC and i need help deciding whats best , i am good with technology and all but lazy with comparing everything and actually i don't have time lately i have been busy so i hope you could help me deciding whats the best options .

My current PC specs are :-

Motherboard : Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3
Processor : Intel Core i5-2320
Graphic card : Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6850
RAM : 2x4 GB Corsair XMS3
PSU : Antec Neopower 550w

now i am sure you wanna know my budget well i don't want to spend so much on an upgrade i can just buy a new PC and get over with it so lets say around : 600$ ? but any other suggestion with reasonable price would be appreciated .

Note :i might sell the other parts so My budget might increase to like 800$ or something , Thanks in advance

what speed rating is that 8 GB of RAM? 1333 or 1600?

what I'd suggest is upgrading the GPU. I'd throw a R9 280 at that build, and a large SSD. There's just not that much improvement between sandy bridge and haswll to recommend updating the CPU

Its 1333mhz
Yes i think the R9 280 is a great choice after all its new and solid graphic card
Yeah i thought so as well , but i am wondering if my core I5 is gonna be enough for gaming and a bit multitasking though

thanks for the suggestion

Your CPU will work just fine with the R9 280. You wouldn't notice much difference between the new chips and your current chip. It's still a decent chip.
