I've been planning on upgrading my PC as of late and am struggling choosing what hardware I want, I don't have the best PC, but it has some decent parts, and some other parts that I'm embarrassed to have. My PC currently has an Intel core i7 2600, Gigabyte Gtx 670, 250gb SSD, 650W Antec Power supply, 1tb Hard drive and ipi58-ch2 Motherboard and 8gb(4x2) of ram. All in a CM storm enforcer.( http://imgur.com/Nx9PZd6 )

 

I plan to get a new CPU/Motherboard/Ram, I was looking at a i7-4790k, Gigabyte GA-Z97X Gaming 7 and 16(8x2)gb of HyperX Fury. This PC will mainly be used for gaming.  I just wanted to seem some peoples opinion about the new hardware I plan to get, to see if there is some someother hardware I looked over. So if anyone can give me any advice about these upgrades I plan to do, it will be much appreciated(I have a budget of around $1000) . I was also planning on adding a 200mm Fan to the top of the case and getting a new cpu cooler aswell.

 

Cheers

I would probably go with the ram first, then gpu, or the other way around.

 

That's my opinion.

Dell Inspiron 7520 15R: Cpu: Intel Core i7 3612QM @2.10Ghz, Ram: 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ, Storage: 1TB 5400RPM HDD, Os: WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit EP1;

Lenovo Yoga 11e Chromebook: Cpu: Intel Celeron N2930 @1.83Ghz, Ram: 8GB DDR3L 1333MHZ, Storage: 16GB eMMC, Os: Google Chrome Os;

Totally not necessary for a gaming pc. 

 

 

You CPU is still great, upgrade your GPU and you'll be fine

What would you recommend for a new pc? Should I just get rid of everything and just rebuild in the case? Like my powersupply would still be good in a new pc shouldn't it? And my graphics card, I thought it was still decent? I'm not too good at this stuff, My pc hasn't been doing well as of late with a lot of the new games.
