What should I upgrade?

[jewishdolphins]

My birthday is less than a month and i think i might ask for money so i can buy some computer parts. What do you think i should upgrade? This includes, case, ram, power supply, peripherals, anything.

These are my current specs:

GPU : EVGA GeForce GTX 960 (Superclocked, 4GB) 
CPU : Intel Core i5 4690k Quad-Core Processor (3.5 Ghz) 
Mobo : Asus Z97-A Motherboard 
Ram : Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 
HDD : 1TB Western Digital Blue 7200 RPM 
SSD: 240 Gig Intel SSD 
Case : NZXT S340 Black 
OS : Windows 10 

Monitor : Asus VX228H 21.5" Monitor (x2) 
Keyboard : Corsair K65 RGB Mechanical Keyboard 
Mouse : Corsair M65 RGB Mouse

If it were me I'd probably want to upgrade that GPU to something like a 390x/980. Dunno if you're willing to spend that much money though.

[jewishdolphins]

dont give me a whole new build log. just tell me which parts could use some upgrading (this includes mouse, monitor, etc)

 

I'm into competitive csgo and I like blade and soul and six siege. Also really like the division. so ill def be playing these games and doing other techy computer stuff like coding since im planning on majoring in computer engineering.

i really want the 980 since i could always overclock my cpu. however, the 980 is just 100 dollars too much for me.

Depending on the budget but you could go for a new GPU, maybe 970 or 980

What are you using the PC for? There's no point for upgrading the PC if it currently fits your usage scenario. I've been using the same system for 5 years and haven't found the need to upgrade anything.

just cause i can. Might as well. I mean, if im not upgrading specs i might consider getting a steelseries mouse, maybe liquid cooling or even a 144 hertz monitor

[Castdeath97]

Probably the GPU, you can of course wait till pascal and polaris come out. If you will upgrade now get a R9 390X or a R9 390.

[r1Ns3]

IF 980 is too much, get a EVGA 970 and OC the shit out of it and bam, you have a make shift 980.

 

or even better an r9 390/x and overclock. Sapphire of course.

Get the R9 390X then.

In that case the 390x wouldn't be a bad option. I've got a MSI one that it works pretty good. Though at this rate I might wait for Polaris if I were you.

Go for an upgrade to the R9 390 on the GPU and maybe an upgrade on the CPU and also RAM (16GB). Maybe upgrade the CPU to an i7? Or you could just go with the i5 6600K. And that would also require a mobo upgrade

You dont necessarily need 16GB..it's just nice if you're a "tab fiend"

So here you go. If you have any suggestions...just tell me

If you want something that will last a very long time get a great Monitor.

[Virtual01]

GPU, Monitor, and SSD in that order. If I were you I'd upgrade to a 970/390, a 24" monitor, and a 500GB SSD, possibly with a 1TB storage drive as well.

Polaris is aimed at consoles and high spec laptops

Monitor or GPU

no

[vanished]

I would save up and upgrade the GPU when it's worth it.  Nothing looks like it needs work right now

[Guest]

Including mouse and keyboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/w2d4yc

The mouse...you said steelseries...this had lots of good reviews

The keyboard...according to my friends, its a really good keyboard.

 

Recommendations would be the Logitech G910 Orion Spark and the G502 Proteus Spectrum or the Razer Deathadder
