The title is self explanatory, just looking for advice on upgrades or changes I should make to my systems. I have a LAN room and posted pics in the "General Discusion / Show your Rig" portion of this forum so you can view pics if you like. I am open to trading parts amongst systems or moving things around if certain combinations might work better, what ever will best optimize performance/gaming experience.

This will probably be an ongoing thread as I'm always looking to improve outdated hardware but I'm not made of money. I try to keep my systems as up to date as my budget allows so please keep suggestions reasonable.

Games regularly played.... CS-Go, Team Fortress 2, L4D2, DOW2, SC2, AoE3. (not in any order, but mostly SC2)

 

EDIT: Specs below are out of date. For a more accurate specs list please view my user profile.

I will probably be upgrading my main rigs PSU from a TX750 to AX760/750/850/860 (whatevers on sale) because I want to get a modular PSU to tidy up my case and am also going to try sleeving. I also want to upgrade my monitor to a 27/30" 2560x1440/1600.

Thanks guys. Yes, this is my LAN room for gaming with friends. So I will take it that my builds are pretty solid and should last a while yet?

Also, I forgot to say in my original post that pics can be found in my profile as well.
