Pls recommend Corbell upgrade

[cheez14]

hi bros,

been out of touch for very long now. Am seeking some recommendations for an upgrade of mainly Corbell parts (namely because i live in amk and have had less headaches with their RMA)

am hoping this upgrade will last me another 3-5years (gaming and otherwise)

current setup as below:
-intel E8400
-MSI NEO2-FR
-MSI GTX275
-OCZ fatality edition DDR2 PC8500 2x2GB
-1xWD raptor 10k 150GB/ 1x Samsung 1TB/ 1x WD green 2TB
-Seasonic X650
-Slverstone TJ07

TIA!!

Most likely you need to start from scratch. Not worth savaging all the items, or upgrade it.

The PSU and casing can reuse. HDD keep as storage. State your budget so that others can help you.

normally i'd state a budget but i've been out of touch for so long that i dont realli know what a "reasonable" budget is anymore. perhaps something that can run Crysis3 smoothly should suffice?

Can but that wouldn't play well with Crysis at all...

Your GTX 275 is considered low end gaming card by today's standard, same like a sub-75W (no need for auxiliary power) HD 7750....
