What would you upgrade first?

Boot ssd or gpu if you play anything newer

Depends on what you are using it for

CPU

Get a 3770 non-k

What should I upgrade next?

Your OS

Hardware-wise

Your PSU

Describe what the system is required to do. List specific tasks and software that are critical for it to run, then list some tasks "that would be nice" to do as a bonus.

What budget? Because, just say how much cash you're ready to spend and might be able to list the top three upgrades that fall in-budget.

Desktop or laptop? If desktop, strongly consider a solid SSD for the OS plus major software and relegate the HDD to storage and applications that don't require SSD. Newegg (for one example) is selling 240 GB ADATA SSDs today on Shell Shocker for $55. Cheap, reliable, more than "fast enough" for people who aren't into pro gaymemeing.

Because you need to gtfo for 5 years.

Something is seriously wrong with your RAM timings for that speed. A pair of 8 GB DDR3 sticks at 1833 MHz should look more like 10-11-11-25, or better if performance quality.

>>53894488
Wat

Your optical drive, get a DVD-HD reader already!
>>
>>53894491
The timings are correct

I've already ordered two 960GB SSDs to replace my tiny ones but what else can I do to upgrade?
>>
>>53893921
How fast is that RAM really? The reading on that program is often inaccurate for RAM clocks. If it's that slow for real then it'll probably bottleneck you harder than most other things.
>>
>>53894837
Don't upgrade for the sake of upgrading. If you run into something that's slow, find out what the bottleneck is and upgrade that.
>>
>>53893863
windows 8.1 to a clean windows 10 enterprise installation or gahnoo slash loonix
>>
>>53894396
Add another 290 and ur golfen for another 3 years
>>
>>53894913
Well I really can't max out vidya at 2560x1440 60fps with my GPU. Should I upgrade now or wait for the next gen of GPUs?
