Upgrading soon... Need Help Figuring out what i'm gonna get.

Im looking for New Everything

It's quite slow when i play certain games which is likely to the cpu bottle capping me.

I did do some benchmarking on this system. Click here for results 

I would mostly like a Black/Blue, Black/red or Black/White Rig and matching parts.

 

I am using:

 

Cpu:       Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.40

Gpu:      Geforce GTX 650 Ti

Storage: 1 TB HDD

Case:     Optiplex 745

Mobo:    OHR330

Ram:     8 GB DDR2 at 600MHz but registers to 400MHz

Psu:       Dynex 400 watt 

 

Would like the budget to be around 550 - 1200$ US

 

1. Would love it try to reach 4k

2. I do not have a TV/Monitor/Panel to reach to higher than 720p 

3. Would love for it to kinda in a small form factor if possible

4. Would love new mouse and keyboard if possible (got mine off of cheap ebay(kinda sucks))

Bit over budget but at that budget you won't be hitting 4k performance, 1080p is still a great option. I hope you consider and enjoy this build

A 980 can actually play some games decently on 4K. No, you're not going to be getting the performance as if you were playing on dual 980 Ti's lets say, but it will still be solid at medium settings for most games.

That's what I meant however since we've got a 1080p monitor we can emulate 4k with DSR.

You can just replace your core 2 duo with a core 2 quad and get several more years out of it and save your money to buy something really awesome.
