    What would you upgrade on my rig, don't know what I want to get first lol.

    My rig's pretty decent, plays my games on ultra, but I'm always upgrading so yea, what would you upgrade on my rig if you were me?

    i5-2500k
    CM Hyper 212+
    Asrock P67 Extreme 4 Gen 3
    GTX560
    Geforce 610
    2x Crucial M4 64gb in RAID0
    8gb DDR3 1600 RAM 2x4gb sticks
    24" POS Dell
    2x 22" POS Acers
    Razer Blackwidow
    Logitech G600
    Shitty Razer Carchais headset that has a earpiece falling off but still works decently
    OCZ 750w Modular PSU

    I was thinking either doubling my RAM up, or possibly splurging on a 770 or 780 to replace my graphics card or get a GOOD wireless headset as wires bother me during raids -__-.

    Go for the graphics card, ram will hardly do anything.

    IMO: at the spot your at now, I don't think any upgrades would significantly alter how well the computer runs.

    I was thinking the graphics card, but that was a bit more than I wanted to spend. I need to stop this hardware buying grrrrr -__-.

    Even SLI'd 560s wouldn't be that big of an upgrade imo. Maybe get a PSU sleeving kit and practice my sleeving maybe lol.

    I could get a better heatsink than what I have (Hyper 212+) and push my OC to maybe 5ghz or something.

    Logitech 930s vs Corsair Vengeance 2000, anyone have one of them?

    What do you play? If it's just WoW, there isn't much you can do to increase performance at this point. Video card could be improved for other games.

    Yea I know there's not much I can do performance wise. I just like buying new hardware.

    If you just play WoW, than there is nothing really you have to upgrade. If you play other games as well, than a new gpu might help.

    You could replace your headset tho, if its annoying/broken.

    If you like watching movies or listening to music, new speakers might be nice.

    Speaker guides from /r/zeos: 2.0 and 2.1

    I have a pair of Pioneer BS22s with an Indeed TA-2020s amp.

    A nice sub woofer and grenades in FPS games will always be fun.

    So buy new hardware. You already know you won't get a boost out of upgrading. Why not just get better accessories for the ones you obviously don't like?
