I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to the 8350 in the future. I was wondering if I should upgrade anything else. Here's my system now: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/IjVp
So other than my CPU, what else should I upgrade?
EDIT: I'm also thinking about switching out the PSU and getting some better in the GPU department
As of right now, no. But in the future you might want to uppgrade your ram from 1333 to maybe 1866, this becoause it'll juice up the whole runtime of your machine. Including graphics. cpu etc.
once you get the 8350 next get a ssd then over the next few year all you have to do is gpu upgrades.
I really don't see the point of getting an SSD. They're fast and all but if they're not being used as a boot drive then what's the point? I'd rather spend the money it would cost to buy a decent sized SSD and buy another terabyte of space.
umm op why so much ram? how about just staying with 8gig and upgrading that cpu now, to say a 6300k? after all if your just gaming then 16gigs is overkill mate

You've got 3 TB harddrivespace and 16 gigabytes of ram, so I would guess you want to do rendering? For what are you going to use it, and whats your budget mate?
I do work on adobe and video editing. Plus I host a Minecraft server for me and my friends.
I'm not going to build one, I'm just upgrading parts.
looks like I wasn't looking. Maybe choose hd 7870.
AND GET BETTER RAM, for that price, you can get more! Here: crucial 8gb 1866 mhz (costs a bit more) or anything else, that's really expensive. Don't take 1333.
erm.. I mean: Your Ram is expencive, not with the context of my message.
At the time I bought it, it was like $50 on sale and it was all in one and not two seperate units.
was that a long time ago? because 50 bucks is still to expensive. But you got it now pal, so...
$50 for 16GB is pretty good man, normally I see that go for around $90
they cost 50 bucks per 8gb unit...
