I am considering selling my entire rig(monitors,HDD's and all),and building a new rig,idk if i want to do it now,or mabye wait until early next year for income tax(which i normally get $850)and add that to what i sell my rig for,but the down side is it will sell for less then.

 

Here is my parts list:http://pcpartpicker.com/user/trainergames/saved/12nt

 

Also if you think i should sell it,how much should i sell it for,and when?

 

The main reason i am considering this is because while was getting parts i ended up settling,because i did not want to wait,instead of getting what i really wanted.

Around 1,8k(max)I would say. Because Haswell is going to come out pretty soon and the GTX 700 series just released. And from the benchmarks I have seen they are doing pretty well. Also you got 2 different memory kits, thats interesting.

Well what happened was i got the crucial back when i first built my rig back in early 2012,but about 5 months ago i kept having problems of running out of ram, so i need some more,i could not find any of the same kit i had at the time,and i could not afford to buy a new 16GB kit.

Well i love the fact that i can play most game at max settings and get 60fps,but i ended up with a referance 7970 when i want a XFX DD 7970,the 60gb SSD is just to small,i have a weird frame rate drop with my Seagate HD,the case does not support the cpu cooler i really want(it came out after i built my rig),small things like that.

Considering what you're spending, you could do better than a 60gig ssd and you could get a new memory kit.

That is my current parts list for my rig i am typing this up from,i am considering selling it,and building a new system,but idk if i should wait till income tax or not,or if i should even sell it at all.

 

I know i want my new build to have a 120GB SSD,and a matching 16GB kit.

Why not just buy an SSD and gpu? I don't a reason to replace your memory kit.

I don't have extra money to blow on a new SSD,and GPU,that is why i would have to sell my rig first,and then build a new rig with that money.

Good luck because the build seems so unbalanced. I'm not sure who would buy it.

Yeah honestly I would keep what you have and use some of your tax money to purchase upgrades. It's not a bad system :)

Well i get around $850 during income tax,but that is not till early next year,what kind of upgrades should i look into then?

For one you don't have a gpu. Why not grab a 7950, samsung 840 120gb, and call it a day. That's about $400.

The 7950 is a better deal. When both overclocked, the 7950 is only a bit weaker than the 7970 but $100 cheaper.
