So I decided it is time to upgrade my good ol' GTX 660, my H61 MSI mobo, and my trusty Corsair 200r! I've had the best of times with them. These parts were from the first build I ever did back in High School. It has been good old friends but not to worry! My mom will be using you her personal work PC at home!

SURE THANG! Just waiting for my tax return to hit my account so I can buy the GPU and fans. I should be able to pick up the case, motherboard, SSD, and cooler this weekend!

I assume when I said upgrade people would realize I have a working CPU. :P If it isn't listed, it isn't being upgraded. But I have an i5-3570K.

In that case, there's 0 reason to get a new mobo. Save a few bucks on it.

Yea, but I can't overclock on a H61, which I plan on doing. I also want to be able to SLI later this year.
