Hi guys i have a sugo08/07 casing that i want to reuse. looking to refresh all my parts inside. budget around 1500-2000. no need OS, KB&Mouse, monitor and dvd rom. Not doing any OC. mainly used for gaming/web surf/movies.

PS: if my current i5-2500 still good please advice what should i upgrade.

Upgrade ram to 8gb , get a ssd , upgrade to gtx970

Crucial 8gb ddr3 ~ $100
Crucial mx100 256gb ssd ~ $155
Zotac gtx970 ~ $490

Buy and DIY @ tradepac ask for discount.

the PSU no need to change? is zotac the best atm? any other reco?

PSU is still good.... How old is it?

For gpu, wun sae the best, but one of the cheapest.

 

[UnDeaDAfk]

hmm 4-5yrs old i think for my psu

 

[Jian19]

If ur psu can change then consider Msi gtx970

The reason for zotac is becos it does not draw that much power from psu

Wait for Skylake better... By the time, GPU side should also have a popcorn price war~
