PC Upgrade - $650

[matthijs_jwz]

Hi,

I am planning to upgrade my PC. This are the specs of my current pc

2 storage drives

8GB of ram

Shitty Mediom mobo

Shitty Gt 670

Shitty PSU

I7-3770

So everything with 'shitty' in front of it, is what I want to remove and upgrade.

So my wishlist is

RAM: 16GB (already have it)

Mobo: SLI support (so I can upgrade in the future)

GPU: maybe a 970 - i am open for suggestions!

CPU: I7-3770 (already have it)

Storage: 2 drives (already have it)

PSU: a Psu that can properly power the parts

CASE: no wishes

So I am planning to spend around $600.

Thanks for helping!
