Philips e-line 247e4lhsb - 23'6"

The graphics card. That CPU is going to last you for a while longer, maybe even a better power supply if you're gonna get a card like the R9 290.

[Robinolo]

thanks, i think i'm buying that card.

any good cases for under 100?

Upgrade the PSU if you get a new gpu.

I dont know how much stuff you have on your ssd but 120 for me is not enough. 250 is a sweet spot.  The CPU is fine. If you re a gamer defenetly replace a GPU. If i were you I d wait until gtx 800 series come out and 700 drop in price and than purchase 770 or 780 and a better PSU.

i say the graphics card since u have clearly a nice cpu which i dont think u want to overclock.

But since we dont know how many days till we get a new nvidia card i say "pls wait'new nvidias coming"

i have only windows and programs on my ssd, i have 60gb in use of my ssd

Case (Maybe an Enthoo Pro?). GPU (GTX760 or 770?)

[Briggsy]

GPU is definitely the limiting factor of that system, although not really by much. the 660 is really not far behind a 760. the only logical upgrade to see any noteworthy performance gains is 780/290. the power supply is weak though for a more powerful GPU.

[UnknownDepths]

Power supply if you plan on getting a high end video card.

[Robinolo]

what psu whout be strong enough?

[virtualTune]

Upgrade the PSU if you get a new gpu.

agree!

PSU first, then the rest

[virtualTune]

what psu whout be strong enough?

depends on what GPU you want

[TristanK]

With a 750W psu you can get away with any single gpu setup and some 2 way sli setups. If you go for 760, 770 GPUs I d go for a 600-650W PSU

[Briggsy]

I would say 660 sli, but your motherboard doesn't support it. 

 

if you get a 290/780, than 750 watts is plenty to keep efficiency optimal. you can get away with a 650 watts.

 

760/770/280/280x upgrades 650 watts, but these cards will disappoint you with the performance improvement over a 660.

[Robinolo]

how do i upload i picture?

[Briggsy]

case fan, and i like a window in my case

 

Assuming its a molex fan, if you have a spare molex pass-through cable, you could always make your own 7 volt adapter, or buy a cheap front bay fan controller.
