Which would benefit me more?

[Mpeterson96]

Hey guys im trying to decide what I should get for around 100$ that would most benefit my computer performance.

my specs right now are

Case: rosewill thor V2

psu: corsair tx650M

cpu: intel I5 2300

Ram: 8gb 1333 no name brand (came with my old rig I got as a gift from bestbuy. a gateway dx460 I think, that is also where the cpu came from)

SSD: kingston hyperX 3k 120gb

HDD: 1tb WD caviar green,

HDD2: 500gb WD caviar green

GPU: nvidia GT240 1gb (this next payday I am ordering a 660TI FTW 3 GB by EVGA, its going to be AWESOME! :) )

MOBO: asrock Z77 extreme 4

Monitors: Acer AL1916W, Nspire n171 (both are pretty bad I know. getting new asus 23" monitors soon I hope:)

Keyboard: Logitech G110 (I really want to pick up the Corsair K95 when it comes out!)

Mouse: Razer death adder (once again. I want to pick up a corsair M65 when it comes out)

Mouse pad: steal series Qwk

*Speakers: corsair sp2500

*headphones: JVC rx-900

*soundcard: creative soundblaster Z

*Cpu cooler: Hyper 212 EVO

if there is anything I left out feel free to ask!

but what do you guys think would improve my day to day experience more? ram, another SSD in raid 0, new mouse, etc.

Thanks for the input I have money burning a whole in my pocket as always:P

Hmm, the rig itself is pretty good, do you have headsets yet?

[Mpeterson96]

I had tritton AX 720's but the earcup broke. so I bought these JVC's and use the sorta crappy mic that came with the sound card.

its not the best quality but it is still years ahead of the stuff you hear alot in like tf2 where the younger kids use screechy sparky sounding mic's

*also!

Thanks!:) its my first real rig, I built it myself and keep updating bits and pieces here and there!

You've already answered your own questions - put the money to your graphics card and monitor purchases..

I guess I kept thinking there was some way to do more besides that. Guess I was thinking too hard and not seeing what was right in-front of me. Thanks!

unless anyone has something to say looks Like I am going to do that. mind if I link you to the monitor I want? maybe you guys can give me your opinion.

If you havn't already got the 660TI, you can put more money into your GPU?

[Mpeterson96]

Im going to have roughly 100 extra USD left over. but I am kind of set on this card.

what did you have in mind? besides a 7970?

[Mentalguy]

670 would be good, but the 660ti is great too. I'd save up for a new cpu

moar ram, cpu cooler.

I'd have to recommend the Diamond 7970 White Box Version from MicroCenter. If you have a MicroCenter in your area, it's totally worth it, but it has to be picked up in-store. I got mine at 379.99. I simply don't think anything can beat it at that price.

moar ram' date=' cpu cooler.[/quote']

Im thinking about getting 16GB of 1866 ram with low timings, prefurably with a CL of 8

cpu cooler is the hyper 212 evo
