Personally I don't think you need any more ram, but I'm sure some people will tell you otherwise

Anyway, I would go with some water cooling OR a new PSU. In your case, I would get water cooling first and see how much higher you can overclock (your PSU may or may not hold you back). You can probably get higher just with the water cooling to help, but after that save some more and get a higher quality PSU and you'll have a rock solid rig.

I envy you. Paper delivery goes on all year but grass only grows one season (If you can't tell, I'm a mower.)

but im sure you make more for each lawn, i get 7 cents for each paper. I just wish i could get that grocery store jop, then i could get all my w/c stuff at one time. i could get ram and a psu at the same time too

ya right now im using a crappy raidmax 420 w psu, which is what i think is holding my oc back (i dont think its my temps, its just the stability)

id have to get one w/c part a month or somethin.

If you need a new PSU, you really have no choice. I would say get a new PSU first.

 

[Vertical_Zer0]

Darn it! Now you have me wanting watercooling too... My desired setup is $180 though....

 

[Bboy_Jon]

mine is around 150

im thinkin either some w/c parts, or psu. My ram wont help my oc right? id just be getting 512 of the same exact stuff so it wouldnt matter correct? only thing i could o to help the oc is get a better psu right?

sleeving kit right now would be a bad idea because id end up sleeving my crappy raidmax psu then when i get my new one ill have to sleeve that one too

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

should i get the frotron 530w? its 75 plus a whole 6 dollars for shipping! i only get around 80 a month!

is there any lower priced psus that are good deals?

I say get another stick of ram. Ram and video are usually the first two things people will notice a difference in when they upgrade.

 

[avzay]

definately RAM
easiest upgrade and usually noticible difference

well i havent really been playin games and doin many software stuff on my pc (only play games on weekends for some reason, time flies haha)

i dont really think ram is all that big of an issue for me yet id like to get w/c or something

i think ill get my psu, try ocing and see if i can get higher. Then ill get w/c (2 months after i get my psu haha) then a sleeving kit and ram

i hope i get the grocery store job so then i can get my psu and w/c all at once, and my ram haha
