GPU and Memory upgrade advice? in Desktops ·
Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Super Flower FX 550W - 80 Plus Bronze power supply

EVGA GeForce GTX series

Total: $2,444.69 at Best Buy

You’re going to need a new power supply too... do you happen to have a single 4GB stick of Memory? If so, maybe you could just grab this instead:

It brings the price down by about $50.

It’s not exactly a great list... and honestly, trying to make it any more precise would probably be too much work.

That Xilence unit is just some low-end Chinese office power supply. 😛 I doubt it even hits 400W, not to mention all the other areas where it falls short.

Since you didn't specify a budget, we just suggested something that matched the price-to-performance ratio of your other parts.

I was actually looking into the EVGA MaxPro series... it seems pretty solid, right up there with that beQuiet! System Power 7. That 600W model is $13 actually pricier than the beQuiet! 500W version, despite only gaining 72W in output. You could probably go with either one.

I have a few ideas in mind, but it seems like every store is out of stock on what I actually need. 😬

What's mentioned above works fine, though you might want to just grab a Western Digital 1 TB drive instead—it’s probably only about $20 more.

The NAXN and NAXN Advanced series are pretty low-end and honestly feel kind of cheap.

That Seasonic and the Corsair VX450 are almost identical in quality and look pretty similar, though I guess the Seasonic does have noticeably better efficiency.

Over at Best Buy, you can grab an MSI HD 7950 with about 20 months of warranty left for $417, which seems like a decent move... especially since the HD 7950 isn't exactly a power hog, so you probably wouldn't even need to swap out your power supply.

$767 for a GTX 960? Are you guys out of your minds? 😬

...a slightly better card, plus free shipping.

1) The GTX 750 Ti has a 60W TDP, so it's probably not a huge deal.

2) I just went with whatever was the cheapest option available.

3) At $367, it feels like it's getting a bit too close to the R9 270 anyway.

4) You're throwing around the word stupid a little too easily 😉

We probably need those answers first...

If you're throwing in the power supply too, maybe $850$300.

Honestly, I’d probably just sell it off in parts; that board alone is only worth about a third of that total.

That Zalman thing looks something like this:

So, I guess $13 you're looking at maybe... $200 for the board $83, plus $350 for the processor $133. As a bundle, $200 it seems alright.
PC Upgrade Ideas? in Desktops ·
You might not actually need to swap out the motherboard; there are plenty of used CPUs out there that would be a massive upgrade for it.

You’ll likely need a new processor, a GPU, and a power supply. Just let me know what kind of budget you're looking at and where you're located... maybe we can find someone local to grab some parts for cash.
