Hello, Sup Forums. How should I upgrade my computer?

everything

by putting it in the fucking freezer holy shit

>88c

look ma no fans!

Looks a tad hot, famalam.

buy an alienware

I rock a Q9450, you're in much better standing than I am.

8GB of RAM, better cooling, and a new GPU and you're great. Shit I'd love to have a 2500k.

yea was gonna say

buy some thermal paste you mad man
and dust your case that shit is nasty

...

>88c

already have a new hard drive, what should i upgrade and with what?

what's a good, relatively cheap GPU?

Give us a price range to work with.

250-350 dollars

>first gen bulldozer
good god throw it away. update your bios and get whatever the best vishera chip is you can support. drop in a r9 whatever and you're good to go.

I can easily get latest i5 6600K with that.

that's great and everything but I have bills to pay

The R9 390 might to be a good choice, 300 odd dollars. Outperforms the 970 in almost every way, also not a victim of the 3.5GB meme.
If you're the guy with the 2500k the CPU might be a bottleneck for some games, maybe consider buying something somewhat cheaper or getting a new CPU.

by smashing it

user he said GPU

I second the R9 390

i don't know what any of that means

delete anything useful off it and use it as a dedicated porn machine. Then buy a new PC

thanks guys
what about cooling though? acquire thermal paste, clean the case, and then see if I should get a new fan as well?
