at the moment i have a GTX560 and planning to upgrade in the future to a 700 series(when it comes out). what else would need to be upgraded?

For gaming, programming and mass multitasking

someone help?

Slow down mate; it's been 20 minutes :P

Anyway, I don't know if I'd bother right now. I'd wait for the new Intel CPU's if you want to stay with Intel otherwise you could look at going to AMD with something like an 8350.

What's the budget?

[Pesle]

Hopefully under $1000

So you're wanting a semi-decent all-round PC upgrade for under $1000? I've got dinner in a second, give me a couple minutes and I'll give you a list of parts. (Is that your current PC in the description?)

P.S, with NVIDIA recently releasing the Titan, you'll be waiting a long time for the release of GTX 700 GPU's. And depending on what you'll be doing with your computer in the future, and just going by simple logic that 700 Series GPU's will be better than 600 Series GPU's, you wouldn't even need one. And they'd probably be very expensive.

Gaming is purely reliant on the GPU, as for mass multitasking and programming, CPU/RAM. But you'll want a better Motherboard to support those, like an ASRock Z77.

Edit: Ok so upgrades. I take it everything in your list is what you already have? If that's the case, not much has to be changed really. And being British I don't really know how much prices are for you, so I'm just going of general knowledge.

I would say go with an i5-3330 or 3570k but being British most of the US Tech sites take forever to load, and I can't seem to find either on Newegg. So for now, that 2320 is fine. It's going to be a pain, but swap out that case for a Corsair 200r/300r. Motherboard is good, B75 are your basic Boards and don't allow overclocking, so if that's what you'll be doing don't swap it. If you will be overclocking, Z77 Boards.

There's no way you need a 750W PSU, I don't even have that in my i5-3570k/680 build. Switch it for a Corsair CX 600W. Or Corsair TX 650W. Definitely get a different SSD. Intel 330 Series SSD's can't really be beaten for what they offer. Reliable, perform well, and quite cheap. I would say switch RAM makes to Corsair Vengeance but, since you won't be switching Motherboard's, and depending on your building skills you shouldn't have to take everything apart, I'd stick with that RAM.

As for cooling.. Why on Earth would you want 5x Fans!? Whenever I'm helping someone with a build they always want extra Fans, but with most decent cases you don't really need them as there's already sufficient airflow, and most cases have at least 2 built-in Fans. Time for that GPU.. Again it all depends on what games you'll play, and your setup. Based on the assumption that you'll play games like Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield and stuff like that, a GTX 650Ti/660/660Ti will do perfectly. Like I said, since you're wanting a good all-round PC there's lots of things you have to focus on. So if you take into the account the changes I listed earlier, and depending on your left-over budget, a 2GB 650 Ti will still play on high settings and maintain good smooth FPS.

Thanx for the help, lol maybe I should remove some fans :)

I think that might be a good idea aha, Fans aren't that cheap either.. If you really want to for peace of mind, just buy one or two extra Fans at $15 each.

Why would he swap out components that have little or nothing to do with overall performance and currently work fine?

- I forgot the list was what he already had, thus why I said he should only buy 2.
