mobo+cpu+ram

what should i upgrade them to?

Intel Core i5 2500
ASUS P8H67
Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3

Can be done for your budget, where you buy from is your choice.

might want to check the specs on the psu as well, though it should be okay

depends, a lot of the dell case/psu's have proprietary connectors. would be worth checking

If his profile is up to date he should be fine, 650w Corsair.

good work relapse, cbf checking lol

id go

ASUS P8P67-M Pro Motherboard B3
Intel Core i5 2500k
Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3

same deal, under $400, just for the sake of p67

you all seem to want to OC, tho i saw no real proof of it recently

2500k@4ghz+ will solve all your performance issues

Don't forget to add on the cost of a Hyper 212+ or the Aywun one.

yer go the aywun V10

Mind you, he can easily pick one up later, not really a need now

same price as the 212+, but 10 pipes not 4 or 5, nice big cooler, does the job very well for $39
as seen here

I loathe M boards, but it gets you the freedom of a K.

im not a big fan either, but for the sake of p67 and K cpu, and the freedom of sli, why not

I would certainly hope not.
