    SO here is my Current setup
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
    Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770
    Gaming graphics 2791 MB.
    Asus P8H61-mx motherboard

    So basically I am thinking about upgrading the Graphics card first off and maybe a new hard drive.
    I am going to buy a Corsair 600W power unit soon.
    Anyone recommend what I should upgrade to for Gaming?
    ~Thanks

    An SSD and new video card would be a nice upgrade. What are you looking to spend, and what's your current power supply?

    Also upgrade your RAM to 8GB.

    Budget will be around 500 mark for the card and a drive, this being a slight stretch on the budget but id rather get quality
    Have a 450 watt power unit now at the moment.

    Samsung 840 evo

    Scan are doing a msi 7950 for £190 with 3 free games at the moment. The link isn't working though.

    Grab a matching or similar 4gb of ram then as well on Amazon or wherever.

    Should be about €370 for the lot.

    good upgrades, and provided it's a decent 450w psu you won't need to touch that.
