I built Marilyn in the end of November and have been constantly upgrading her since. Current specs are:

Mobo: Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H

RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3

CPU: Core i5 4670k @ 4.5 GHz

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 650ti Boost

PSU: Corsair CX600 600w

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1tb

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

 

Upgrades I want to make once I get the money:

SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 250gb

PSU: Corsair AX 760

RAM: Another 8gb Dem for a total of 16gb

GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 780/780ti

Case: Corsair 750d/760t

Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Formula 

 

Any suggestions for my future upgrades?

 

As you can see, I have a lot left to upgrade and there will be a long time before it happens because Im 14 and work at McDonalds. When Im done I will have my dream PC and not have to upgrade for a while. Here are some pictures of my current build:

No point getting a 760W PSU. 600 is plenty for single GPU, and while 760 may be enough for dual GPU, if you're upgrading, might as well upgrade to a ~850W PSU.

 

Also, no point upgrading the motherboard. Upgrade it when you want to change architecture.

 

I'd say don't bother changing the case, but that is entirely personal.

Desktop: Intel Core i7-5820K, Corsair H115i, Asus X99-Deluxe/USB 3.1, G.Skill Ripjaws4 32GB 2800MHz CL16, Zotac RTX 3070, Samsung 950 Pro 512GB in Angelbird Wings PX1, Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 5*Seagate 12TB, Cooler Master V1200, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, Windows 10 Pro. Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

 

AYANEO 2S: AMD 7800U, 32GB 7500MHz, 2TB WD SN850X. Windows 11.

The reason im upgrading to the AX760 is so I have a modular PSU and I can sleeve all the cables to make it look better

I want a fully modular design so nothing like the Corsair CX600M. What are you thinking?
