Hey, I ordered my parts on the 30th December and they are due to arrive by the 30th January from Dabs. Honestly poor service imo, I'll just stick to scan. Anyway, I want to know what you would change on this build or what you would upgrade in the future.

As it stands -

Case: CoolerMaster N200
CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
PSU: XFX 550W
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Blue CL9 (2X4GB) ( 9-9-9-24 CAS )
Optical Drive: LiteOn IHas
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Green

What would my priority be for upgrading? I was thinking on getting a new MoBo at some point and a 780 .

Thanks

You don't need to upgrade yet, maybe a SSD and since the 270x is a very good card you should at least use for a year ect.. especially with mantle coming out it will be even better.

Sounds good! I was planning on upgrading at around December. I wanted an SSD initally but I sacrificed it for the XFX 550w upgrade from the EVGA 500W and to upgrade from the FX-6300 to the 8320.

No point spending money if you don't need to. If you ever do want to you could buy a h100 or an air cooler to overclock if you want. As previous user said, SSD would be the top thing on my list if i had the build.

Definatly an SSD if you are using a WD Green hard drive. If you wanted to really get a GTX780 you probably would need a new motherboard and processor to fully utilise its power, but by the end of the year there would probably be new Processor and GPU choices anyway.
