Advice on pc upgrade!

[LeStench]

Hi all,

I've been running my current rig since 2013.
Current specs
Casing : Bitfenix prodigy
CPU : i5 4430 (stock cooler)
RAM : Single 8gb ddr3
MB : Asus H87I-plus
GC : MSI Radeon 7850
Storage : 1 SSD, 2 HDD
1 x optical drive
PSU : S12II-620

Am looking to change casing and upgrade with a budget of $400. Advice on other m-itx casing and upgrades? Thanks!

Only need to upgrade GPU.
Upgrade to Nvidia 1060 6GB and you are all set.

Sell 7850
buy 1060gtx 6gb

Casing dun really needs to change as there isnt really alot of compact case that can fit 2hdd, optical drive and full size psu.

Your current case is pretty good imo.
Unless you really hates the aesthetic of it.

The plastic parts, which is the handles, bottom and red lining has gone sticky for some reason due to heat. Dust sticks on it like crazy and it can't be cleaned off. Hence, the choice to get a new case. Yeah will look at 1060, perhaps 3gb instead of 6gb? There isn't much upside for the 6gb.

if you play in 1080p
3GB is enough for now.
