Hello Guys, I'm an incoming freshmen in college, I've been planning to upgrade my system and made a small diary for it, I only have limited budget because all that I will use for this will come from my own pocket, university needs a lot of money to spend and I don't want my parents carry the expenses for my extra activities. Let me show you my Small Log book via notepad. Please comment and suggest, rate, and Donations lol thanks guys, note: I just copied the content instead of posting it coz of some errors

LOL I tried following your mathematical trail but it doesn't add up. Frankly I'm confused to make any recommendations. How much PHP do you have at the moment? 😛

I see that you've added the H100i. I would have done differently to be honest. Since the i5-2320 isn't very overclockable, I wouldn't have invested in an aftermarket close loop system just yet. Priority wise, I'd recommend you upgrade your GPU, RAM, SSD. You'd get better performance gaming wise.
