I'm planning on picking up a new case soon, honestly. This one's pretty much seen its better days. I've got a newer SATA drive in there, and the power supply is a Hyper Tech M 630W. For the GPU, I'm running an HD6750 with 512MB GDDR5 PCI-e.

So, I gotta swap out some parts on my rig, but honestly, I haven't kept up with tech news in forever, so I was hoping you experts could take a look at what I'm planning
Basically, I’ve got about $733 to spend, and I need a new motherboard, RAM, and a CPU that can actually handle running something like wow on decent settings
Here is what I picked out:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X series, F3-12800CL9D-8GBXM, DDR3 1600MHz, 8 GB kit (2x4GB), PC-12800
ASUS Z97-A motherboard, Intel Z97, DDR3, audio, SATA, G-LAN, PCI-E, D-SUB, DVI-I, HDMI, USB 3.0, mATX, LGA 1150 socket
Intel Pentium G3258 box, LGA 1150 socket, 3.2GHz, 3MB cache, integrated GPU, dual Core

Buying a new graphics card - (read first post)

Hey, I’m looking to pick up a new GPU. I keep hearing people say we should just hold out for the next series because prices on the current top-tier stuff might drop, but I have no clue if that's a month or two wait?
My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo
ASUS motherboard 2 x1Gb Netgear
2x1Gb Netgear (800MHz)
Syncmaster 22'' monitor
My power supply is pretty old and weak, maybe around 340W if I'm remembering right—I'm not home right now so I'm basically guessing here—but I'm planning to swap that out along with the card, so it shouldn't be an issue.
Current card is a GeForce 6600 256 mb
I'm thinking of dropping about $533 for both the card and the PSU.
Basically just using this rig for gaming, so thanks in advance for any help.

So, a dad calls his son who's stationed over in Iraq:
"Hey son, how are things? I'm doing alright here—just wish you were home to help me dig up the garden! Your old man could use the hand!"
"Thanks, Dad! Doing good too—nothing much changing here in Iraq. Hey, since you're digging anyway, do you want me to tell you where to find 'that thing'???", the son asks.
"What thing, son???"
"You know... 'that thing' I buried last time I was back home."
Suddenly, the call cuts out because the secret service bursts into the old man's house! Three hours later, the dad finally gets back on the line.
"Son, what the heck happened?! Some guys just stormed in and tore up my entire garden!"
"Nothing, Dad... you did ask for some help, didn't you?"
LOL!😬
