Upgrade Options for me

Define R5 Blackout Window Edition damn sleek and simple beauty...tempting indeed
seems decent for a 970 around 500sg but wonder how much i can get for my asus 670

I think most you can get is 150...

Seems like not worth selling.

Just added a pair of Samsung MV-3V4G3D to make it 16gb.

Next is the HDD. A toshiba 5tb is cheap based on $/gb. probably the best value now. 2yrs only thou.

As a quick measure since hdd space running out. got me a cheap 3tb toshiba for 131 off bizgram (missed out on laser's 128 as they closed). On the way back was thinking how a manufactured in DEC 2013 toshiba hdd can have any warranty, if unlucky, die die lor since its less than 44sg/tb...

Find out how to check toshiba hdd warranty here(key in all 12 numbers no space in between):

Still stuck with this setup with minor upgrades since this thread was started.

Seems like I may have a PSU overheating problem coming up. As long as the PC is kept on, used or unused, after a day, perhaps less than 24hours, it will go into constant rebooting mode. So long as I off it and then turn it back on after resting it for a while, It is good to go on for many hours more. Other possibilities could be cooling radiator issue or cpu overheating or need to redo thermal paste? doubt so.

However I am looking at a Case + PSU upgrade now. A full tower case and probably at least a 850w psu hopefully. Planning to change to a 980ti maybe so I will need a 850 ya? Else I will go for any 970 gaming gpu offering me 3DP slots. Case and PSU needs to last me for the next 2-3 years. Need awesome cable management. My current case cable management like sucks...and seem too small for me.

Any suggestions?
