Can you recomend me some upgrades.

[John Gordon]

I bought an Alienware Aurora R3 some years ago and I have since sopped out most of the components. One thing I changed the motherboard as the Alienware one died. Its never really worked properly since due to the Alienware having sub boards to control the water cooler and lights etc.

Today I have ordered a new case and a new water-cooler that will just plug into the motherboard.

The spec of my current PC...

CPU: Intel i5 2400 (not a k version so its locked)

Mother board: Asus P8Z68-M pro

Ram: 16gig of corsair vengance ddr3

GPU: Ati HD 7950 3 gig

PSU: Alienware 850w

HDD: 2 x seagate 500gb set to raid 0


I can play most games on pretty high settings but I know its not the most up to date system. What if anything should I be looking to upgrade to get the most bang for my buck.

best upgrade you could make IMO is get an SSD and stick your OS on their
