How should I upgrade my gaming PC

[easybets]

Built below PC 2 years ago and I think its time for a upgrade, Currently have about 400dollar available for upgrades + anything I can sell from my current PC. Any pros can suggest how I should spend this 400dollars that would improve my PC the most?

My opinion is that for $400, not much can be done ?

I'm still using 2700K and it works well for me, no issues in terms of latest gen gaming.

Maybe you could consider e.g. AMD Radeon 280X for $450ish, sell your GTX580 to meet budget ?

Save another $100 more for the powercolour r9 290 pcs+ at $499 (Ban Leong promo, while stock last)

I rather ts sell his 580 for maybe $100plus then top up to the 400 buy 290 now

Would it be worth it to upgrade to the R9 280/290? how much can I sell my 2nd hand GTX 580? If there isn't much of a performance boost, I think I'll just invest in new mouse & headset instead

A 280x = 7970GHz = Not a huge difference from a 580 and not worth the change.
