Will this be a nice upgrade? You can see my current build in my sig. But here it is if you can't see it:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4570

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3

RAM: Crucial Ballistix BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU

GPU: HIS HD 6770 1GB

Case: Bitfenix Phenom mATX Black

HHD: WD Blue WD10EZEX

PSU: Some random old 300W

 

Upgrade:

Case: Corsair Carbide Air 240

PSU: Corsair CX430M

 

I am probably going to add some lights :) (NZXT CB-LED10-WT 12x White LED Sleeve - 1m)

anyhow, case is optional, wont change anything, but a good quality PSU is important if you dont want your computer to fry, but the thing that would give you the best boost is a better gpu

well, I don't need that. The GPU I have now is just fine for me. I don't play games and I don't think I will.
