Upgrading my build...

[oO_KoPiTe_Oo]

Would love some help deciding what to upgrade. Maybe come up with some alternatives keeping to the price scale?

After this I don't hope to upgrade anything for around 3 years and I want to be playing all the latest games at 1920x1080 at over 40fps on at least medium settings. Oh and I'm going for a black and Blue feel.

My current system...

Case: Silverstone FT03B

Monitor: HP 2310ei 23" LED

CPU: Intel Core i5-650

Cooling: Stock

Motherboard: P7H55-M LX

Graphics Card: Asus HD4870

Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3

Cooling: Factory

HDD: WD2500JD 250GB

Power Supply: XFX Core Edition 550W

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

After Upgrades...

Case: Silverstone FT03B

Monitor: HP 2310ei 23" LED

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k

Cooling: Corsair H60

Motherboard: MSI Z68MA-ED55-B3

Graphics Card: MSI 560TI

Sound Card: Asus Xonar Essence STX

Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3

SSD: Corsair FS3 120GB

HDD: WD Caviar Black 500GB

Power Supply: XFX Core Edition 550W

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Wondering whether it would be worth upgrading my PSU or will 550W be enough?

For a 560TI I think the 550W would be more than fine

. It just depends on whether or not the PSU has enough Amps on the 12v rail.If it does, than all should be fine.

44amps, is that plenty? It's got one rail though

One rail is good.

If you have the money then i would upgrade, also ive herd bad things about them xfx psu's. go for a Corsair, even if its a cheap tx650. They rock.

If you will be overclocking your unleased k series cpu then you will need the extra juice.

I hope this helps.
