That's quite a bit to spend to "upgrade" a pc.

Its a lot easier for us to have links, that way we can actually look at the specs and tell you what we think (and make sure that everything is compatible) because I'm not really in the mood to hunt down all those things on Newegg.
If cost is a problem, buy cheaper things. Think about things that really matter to you. You might not need a ton of RAM or a ton of space on your hard drive, and you might not need a solid state drive, you might not need an expensive and fancy case, and you might not need as much processing power as you would think. I'm convinced that when people go to build their own computer, they focus purely on the specs, trying to maximize all these numbers, but what should really count are basic heuristics like the size of your monitor, which isn't really related to building your own computer at all. Also, people think that if they get all the best and most powerful parts that they'll somehow feel some massive effect. Depending on what you're doing, you only need a certain amount of power, and in most cases, increasing it past that amount won't increase the speed of your computer (at least not at any noticeable level).

Thank you for your suggestions I have updated the thread. I understand what your saying but my computer is old and can barley run windows 7 like you said i wont notice that big of a difference but computers with SSDs do tend to boot faster then a computer with your standard HDD. With the processor right now i have a signal core processor. I know it wont be that big of a speed jump going to a quad core but it will help. Once again thank you for your post
