im planning to buy something new for my pc or should i say upgrade.

 

my rig:

i5 2500k @stock

8gb ram

msi p67a-gd65

gtx 580

500w 80+ psu

2tb hdd (1.5tb+500gb)

 

im getting confused what to buy now, what i plant to buy is a SSD or a higher watt PSU.

so what guys can u think? what should i buy first? im currently using my pc over a year and have no problem.

 

btw, dont say to upgrade the gpu, since i only play dota 2 and csgo :)

I would definitely say to get an SSD if your PSU doesn't show any sign of malfunction. You'll have a whole new experience with it. If the PSU works fine, it can wait. What's the exact model ?

CPU : i7 8700k @5GHz, GPU : ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX, RAM : 2x8Go 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance, MB : ASUS Prime Z370-A, PSU : CM V850, Case :  NZXT S340, CPU Cooler : NZXT Kraken x62, Monitor : Acer Predator XB271HU 27" 1440p 165Hz, OS : Windows 10 Home 64 bits

SSD for the boot drive, it makes the computer feel peppy in comparison to a HDD
