    Cant remember brand on the PSU but 850W.
    HDD 1T for storage.

    What exactly are you upgrading the computer for (What Games, programs, etc). It isn't exactly lacking much to begin with unless you want to get water cooling/i7/sli.

    perhaps SLI 680's and upgrade to a higher resolution monitor(s)?
    im guessing some of the nor posters could help you out with that or perhaps link a guide in norwegian?

    There isn't much you can put on the inside, would look into new keyboard/mouse/monitor.

    If you have lots of free cash, second GTX680 in SLI and 2560x1440 monitor is decent choice.

    Another option would be getting 250GB (or even 512GB) SSD to replace your two small discs as one big C drive which will fit both your OS and games.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.

    - New motherboard & CPU when Haswell is released.
    - 144Hz monitor & add another 680.
    - Wait for new cards coming out in June / July.
    - Water cool for your CPU or GPU.

    Overclocking the 2500k guide:

    8700K (5GHz) - Z370 M5 - Mugen 5 - 16GB Tridentz 3200MHz - GTX 1070Ti Strix - NZXT S340E - Dell 24' 1440p (165Hz)

    IMO there is nothing worth a upgrade here currently but you didn't state what you are expecting from a upgrade either so uhm, tell us that first^^, you might want to get a new Monitor, phone, tablet etc.. or just a short vacation instead :P

    Don't spend your money on computer hardware, get a nice new computer chair (one that is REALLY nice) or a new headset/mouse/keyboard/monitor.

    I would probably get a 27 inch ips monitor depending on what you have now.

    Found a nice guide on google, guess ive just been lazy or to afraid to do it. testes hit rock bottom and bluescreen @ 4.8ghz due to insufficent cooling.
