Hi all, im looking to upgrade certain parts of my desktop as well as add on more storage as i've maxed out my HDD.

Processor: i5-4570 3.2ghz
Mainboard: MSI B85-G43 Gaming
Graphics Card: ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Strix (reusing)
Memory: Avexir Ram Red LED 2x4GB
Display: Dell S2340L (reusing)
Storage: WD 1tb, 128gb Kingston SSD, 128gb Plextor SSD
Casing: Corsair 300r
PSU: Seasonic G series 650w
OS: Win 8.1

Im thinking of changing the cpu, mobo, casing and maybe PSU?
im not sure if i can add in more rams of other brands and work with the current one i have as i dont think i can find avexir rams anymore.
minimally a 500gb SSD and another 2tb HDD needs to be added in as well.

Budget wise i'll say arnd $1000-$1300?

ahhh thanks. in that case yea.. i'll upgrade cpu, mobo, ram and psu i guess.
my psu been in used for abt 5years i think, maybe its time to change rather than wait for it to die.
anyone have any recommendation on what exactly to upgrade into for the parts?
