I need help putting together a good PC

The major reason i want to upgrade is because of my CPU right now i am running a I3 530 as well as a ASUS DirectCU II R9 270X 2GB model i will need to upgrade my case and if necessary my GPU.

I will be using my PC for 1080P gaming with one monitor. I do not need any peripherals or windows.

and if possible i would enjoy having a black/blue build. the aim with this build is to be able to play higher end games at a reasonable FPS.

Thanks for your help. 

For case wise im probably getting the Mastercase 5 other then that im free to anything.

How do you like this? The Mastercase is a bit pricey for your budget but you can accomodate for it by switching to 8GB RAM

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

The difference is quite significant, more than twice the graphical horsepower and an RX 480 or GTX 1060 is all you need to max out 1080p today.
