what should I do next??

[Burnedice25]

I recently built my PC (specs are included in a bit) and i couldn't be happier with it, ive been waiting since 2014 to build it and this forum really helped aswell. but saying that i always know there is room for improvement, so can you guys please "review" my build and tell me where i went wrong and what i should get next. i spent about $400 upgrading a PC i got for free, i will include the price next to the component.  specs:

Q6600     $50

4GB RAM $35

MSI GTX 1050Ti $250

500W COSAIR PSU $ 90

 

to recap, what should i add next and where did i go wrong, thanks

Exact model of PSU?

Is that what you plan on getting with $400? Or you can add $400 above that?

Q6600 for $50?????!!!!!

GTX 1050ti for $250??!!

 

that's really expensive.. and a very old cpu. i would have spent about $150-$200 more and bought basically my system (see signature) without the ssd..

That link sent me to the graphics card. I wouldnt buy a premium 1050Ti like that one though for budget's sake.

 

I'd add RAM to 8GB

 

What mobo are you using? P43 and P45 chipsets can overclock this CPU fairly far, giving a lot of extra performance. You might need an aftermarket air cooler as well.
