I have been building on my PC for a couple months now and I do not know what to buy next?

My Build:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 1GB

CORSAIR CX430

2x4gb kingston hyper x blu 1333mhz

Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus (with Artic Silver 5)

1tb 7200 rpm + 500gb 7200 rpm = 1.5tb

Peripherals:
RAZER DeathAdder Black Edition (with razer vespula dual sided mouse pad)

Corsair Vengeance K90

Astro A40

Panasonic 720p LCD TV




I am buying 2 120mm case fans. 1 for push pull and 1 side intake.

I think I am going to buy a 22-24 inch monitor instead of my TV.

What would you guys recommend me to buy next? Do I need anything else?

I just recommend getting that TV unless there is anything else you want more then that.

Sweet! I really need a monitor but I don't have the money for that right now. I need a good brand that has hdmi and dual link dvi

I would get a new CPU at least an i3 (if for gaming an i5 3570k is the best you can get) the Phenom has been out for a couple years now.

I am indeed gaming with it but the Phenom overclocked is a beast! I have no problems even in the most demanding games!

In the next year or 2 I will get a whole new PC

My next upgrade would be CPU, and then GPU. If you haven't overclocked the 7850, you're killing half it's potential.

phenom is quad core and the i3 is not. he should stay with the phenom if not move up to a bulldozer or even a i5

Most games cant use all the potential of a quad core the i3 has a better overall architecture

You do need a power supply, in my experience Rosewill provides excellent products and I would highly recommend any one of their PSU's(power supplies)

and Tempty if he got a new CPU he would need to buy a whole new motherboard, if I was building a computer changing out two full parts for components that are more expensive would not be a move I would enjoy making.

I know that it would take a new motherboard but it was just my thoughts on what would make the computer better for gaming
