First of all, hi there, I'm new here, but I kinda signed up because I need a more experienced person's opinion on what I'm planning on doing.
What I'm currently running:
Gateway DX4840-03c
Intel i5 650 @3.2GHz
Intel H77 motherboard
3x2 2GB DDR3 1333MHz
Radeon HD 6850 1GB (overclocked, I forgot the manufacturer)
I'm planning on replacing most of the parts, these were the suggestion of the salesperson that was helping me out:
Intel i5 3570k @ 3.4Ghz
Gigabyte Thunderbolt Z77X UP4TH
Corsair H100i
Corsair TX650
Corsair 500R
Total with tax: $840CDN
As you can see, I'm planning on keeping the RAM and my current graphics card, as well as the HDD. I will also potentially overclock the CPU.
What I would like to know is, what are you opinion on the new setup?
The most important parts to me are the CPU and the Motherboard.
I would also like to know if there are any cheaper alternatives (hopefully of the same quality) to the case, cooling, and PSU that anyone can suggest.
Thank you for your time.
