Sure buddy, whatever you think.

@OP

Ask Joker, he does custom builds for good prices.

2nd step after deciding to upgrade is setting a budget - so what is yours?

Not really, it's true. You get netbooks with better specs nowadays for R3000, not including the graphics card, obviously, but a GTS250 probably costs around R500 now.

But why?There is so much more better motherboards out there.


Like the guys asked you,give us an amount of what you can spend and lets see what we can do for you.

Like was said earlier... what is your budget. If it's like R2000, you may almost just stick with what you have :)

5k is my budget

OK, spend around half of it on the GFX :) The rest you can get an i5, mb and ram from. I suppose your case and PSU is still okay?

yip my case is tsunami dream and i have 750w

Decide what you want first. Then check online stores.

You wanna go LGA 775 / 1155? I just upgraded from an LGA775 Core2Duo E8400 which I o/c to 3.8Ghz, but it was still bottlenecking on GTA4 and BF3 on 1920x1080.

Hope that helps. I would definitely recommend 4 cores. The rest depends on your budget.

i was thinking
i5 3750k
asrock z77 extreme 4
8gb ddrIII 1600
No sure what gfx card
