So i have $751 for upgrading my LGA 775 PC and sell some junk parts like the old Video Card

the scheme of the old build

CPU: Unidentified LGA 775

Motherboard: Nice Asus Dual Channel DDR3 Support

Video Card: From an Old GF9400GT to GTx 970 Gaming X

RAM: 1GB to 2x4GB HyperX Fury DDR3 or Corsair Vengeance Pro (Used)

Display: Wants LG 29" monitor (since my dad says it is normal people spend alot on their monitor)

PSU: Check this best for my bang PSU!

 

now for the new build scheme, wait i did not tell you where i am yet! So i am in Indonesia where is a GTX 970 is not around $150. But i think it will be okay because i can work on it easy with my dad. Actually i do not have the scheme yet so for you guys that recommend me to build a new system can you make me a list? That is also fully upgradable? Also i want that seasonic psu, so include it in your build (i think it is the truly best). Also LG 29 monitor that has ips and high refresh rate if you can find.

 

thank you everyone!

What you got there is pretty good honestly. Unless you have a poor cpu, good choice on psu. I wouldn't say its normal people spend a lot on their monitor, I spent $130 on mine and I too have a 970 and I'm pretty happy with it. I do wish I had a higher refresh rate but I refuse to give up ips panels.

@Ordinarily_Greater Try using Lazada Indonesia to search for your parts. By the way, Indonesia isn't the only place in the world with durian, you know, Malaysia does too! :)

If you don't mind going for used stuff, you next plan should be a Haswell i7. Unlocked ones are better, but even locked ones are fine. In this case, you only have to replace the mobo and CPU. Everything else can stay.

I can get a core 2 quad, my father says that because when flat monitors are dominating the CRT Monitor they spent alot for a flat panel, i even got a 15" Dell monitor from that old build.

 

Ok so i am in struggle to find used core 2 quads, but i already got the deal on the 970. And buy that freakin best PSU

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

I do not mind about used stuff, if the vengeance pro 8GB RAM still exists i might get that, it is less than $60
