Getting an Upgrade

[MINIDwee]

Not so long ago I ordered a custom built computer for my gaming. I have also converted from being a console gamer entirely and have began to experience some of the great games PCs' have to offer and have taken advantage of many of the great features, a good and well built PC has. However... I already have the irritating itch that some people may get, to upgrade! I will be posting my system specs and I would very much like some advice from all of you guys on what I should upgrade next and perhaps even after that. I am only 14 and need to look for things I can perhaps get at Christmases and birthdays. If I was to just ask for money, I would likely get around £200 on each Christmas and Birthday, (roughly 340 USDs').

Here are my specs:

 

Intel® Core i5 Quad Core Processor i5-4570 (3.2GHz) 6MB Cache

ASUS® H87M-E: Micro-ATX

8GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)

2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 750 Ti

500GB HDD 7200RPM 16MB CACHE

CORSAIR 350W VS SERIES

Windows 7 Home Premium

 

I was originally thinking of upgrading my motherboard to a Asus Z87-plus and getting a larger PSU to support an additional GPU that I may be able to get at Christmas, (I was thinking a Zotac GTX770 amp). Also I was thinking of moving my OS onto an SSD, this will most likely happen in the late future, for now I would mainly like advice on other parts of my computer.

Anyway, I would very much like to hear what you lot think and would be grateful for any advice you can give me.

 

Also if you have any questions about my system build,  I would be happy to answer.

I recommend a 760 or 770, 780 might be bottle necked a little

Don't get a new board, it's fine. I would get a nice 500 watt psu at least though

[MINIDwee]

Ah yes I heard about bottle necking, I would prefer not to have to upgrade my CPU yet, I guess I was right about the 770, but any tips on what I should do with my old 750ti? It would be a little hard to sell and my board only has on PCI-E 16x slot...

Get a 770. A good overclocked one if you can.  Your CPU is completely fine for what is needed these days, and your RAM seems fine as well.

Don't bother getting a new board but I would aim to get a high quality PSU.

[MINIDwee]

Alright thanks you lot, a fully-modular PSU would probably be a good idea at around 500W. And I will likely get a GTX770 however what should I do about my 750ti, it works perfectly fine and it is fairly new. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of selling it online. I guess my best bet would be to sell it to a friend fairly cheap.

Also, another question, how does a dedicated PhysX work, and would it be worth it?

I would recommend you upgrade your GPU and your PSU. 8GB of RAM won't limit you unless you plan to do something like video rendering, and your games would definitely benefit from some more GPU power. You could also upgrade to an SSD, but that would require you to migrate your OS from your HDD. I don't know about dedicated PhysX, but it probably wouldn't offer much of a performance increase. For a modular PSU you should look at Corsair RM 550W.

Thanks a lot guys, you've all been a big help, I guess I better start saving my pennys'.
