Hey everyone

Thinking about giving my old rig a bit of a facelift and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on what to upgrade first.

Current specs:

ASUS P67 Pro, B3, P67, s1155
i5-2500K 3.3/1155 CPU
Zalman CNPS 5X
Seagate 500GB SATAIII
SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB SSD
XFX 550W Core
4GB DDR3 (2x2GB) KMax 1333MHz
GAINWARD GTX 560 TI 1GB DDR5

Mainly looking at a new GPU. My budget is $667
I use this thing exclusively for gaming.

Thanks in advance

If you ask me, I’d grab another 4GB of RAM—and then, of course, a new graphics card. Maybe something along the lines of a GTX 780

Go with the GTX 780 and 4GB of RAM, just like my buddy suggested... you could probably even squeeze a little extra overclocking out of your CPU if that's your thing—maybe hit 4GHz.

He’s selling his current graphics card—that should free up enough cash for some extra RAM and still leave him plenty left over for a decent steak dinner😁
