Upgrade time!

[kelvinhall05]

I'll try to keep this as short and simple as possible:

My budget is around $300 CAD. About half of that is on Amazon.ca, so I'd like to buy from there. The rest is just cash. I'm looking to upgrade from my old i5-750, and downgrade my case size. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. I want the case to be the Silverstone SG13B.

2. The motherboard NEEDS AC WIFI. I have no way of running an ethernet cord up to my room, short of having it on the stairs and hallway all the time.

3. I already have a GPU, HDD, Windows key(s), and a PSU. I only need a CPU, motherboard, and RAM if needed (full specs in my signature).

That's it! Thanks for the help

The best I could do is like a AMD proccesor which is WORSE than your current CPU. 300 CAD is too little for a upgrade unless you want a weaker AMD CPU.

$220 USD is too little for that case and a decent CPU w/ Mobo unless you want to dig deep into the depths of used components. New components are too expensive.

Edit: I was only using ca.pcpartpicker so you might have some luck browsing amazon, but I doubt it.

Pretty much what I came up with, but I found some good deals on used parts, so I think I'll go with those. Thanks for the help, anyways
