cpu upgrade to 6300, psu is too underpowerd for CFx. other than that, maybe add a monitor? I love having 2 screens....

3

I would have said a 4300, cheaper and more powerful. I'm not doing anything that needs 6 cores.

4

The difference is only $10

Your system looks fine to me. Well balanced. Can't really recommend an upgrade unless you tell us what you do with it.

CPU cooler and Oc a little maybe ? and a case with at least 2 120mm fans and some Cable management features ? 

7

I game alot run alot of low power applications at once and render once or twice a week.

8

I know I need a mouse mat, paper isn't the best for that.

Hello Ackel0061,

 

It's a wonder no-one has said this yet but... I'd take a look at a case with cable management (corsair 200r, Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus, etc...). Also a aftermarket CPU Cooler is not a bad idea, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is a good cooler for a low price! Those would be 2 general inprovements that'd recommend to anyone no matter what they do with their pc.

 

Greets,

Daniel

I wouldn't drop $50 dollars or more on a case just for cable management.Just grab em all, twist tie them, and tuck them into that area between the optical drive and hard drive.

I was thinking about a cooler but my Cpu runs at about 30 degrees idle ad about 50 on load, I assumed that an after market one would not be that greater performance.
