Well first find out what your computer components are.

Then find out how much money you have to spend on an upgrade.

Then we can tell you what you should upgrade first :)

Could i ask whats in the computer?

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

how do i make a list of what parts are in the computer like you have under your posts?

Use pcpartpicker.com and make a list for use please. You can use the Export/Markup feature and link the BBCode to us. It should show us a very detailed parts list.

Also, if you could A. Follow your topic to get notifications of responses immediately and B. Quote us whenever you have a reply for one of us, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Yep, that's perfect!

Also, you're paying a lot for Windows... It shouldn't be more than $100. It looks like you built this already.

AND DO NOT GET THE CORSAIR RM SERIES, THERE'S ENTIRE THREADS LISTING WHY NOT TO DO SO IF YOU WANT TO READ THEM. Buy a SeaSonic PSU instead if you want to upgrade to a for-sure PSU.

 

Ugh, there's a few things wrong with this build TBH. You have an APU that's watercooled and a PSU that could work and also couldn't. I say first expand storage, then get a whole new motherboard and CPU setup much later. It's a bit of a funky setup you have there. Since you're limited to MicroATX with that case, I suggest looking into an Intel CPU, preferably Core i5 up, when you feel like you can afford it. AM3+ has no good options for MicroATX and FM2+ seems pretty limited ATM.

 

Also, one thing to consider is getting a better FM2 APU. There are better, more high-end ones as far as I know.

 

I have to get to bed but you can continue to respond and I'll try to get back to you when I can :)

I'm going to assume you just play video games on your PC and tell you what to upgrade from there

First, the hard drive 500 gb isn't a whole lot if you have a big library like me.

Second, I'm worried about that A8 bottlenecking the 2 760s. Someone's going to have to make sure I am correct on that but if possible upgrade the A8. Here's a hierarchy list for you, just remember to check both sockets to make sure whether or not you need to swap out the mobo. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/21660/gaming-cpu-hierarchy-list-2014-march-update

I got nothing left except maybe OC the CPU as you have a H100i backing you up.

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/69910-why-is-corsair-rm-series-bad/

Cheap capacitors. It has a 5 year warranty if that means anything to you.. I'd just rather avoid them all together. Corsair has plenty of other great PSUs, just not the expensive and horribly cheapened RM series.
