Buy a new gaming PC or upgrade my one atm?

So, i'm in a pickle. I don't know if I should upgrade my PC with an HD 5750, and a 1.9 Ghz AMD 3800. Or just buy a brand new system from Digital Storm or ibuypower, any suggestions?

I wouldn't go with iBuyPower or CyberPower PC's. Their Tech support sucks. (Especially Cyberpowers. If you email them, you'd be lucky to get a reply back) (I have not brought from them yet but I am speaking on other's behalf's). I would suggest building one. You get to pick the parts you want and you can easily upgrade it. And then you don't have to pay someone to overclock it for you. There is a GREAT gamespot PC computer building guide on the PC Hardware Discussion section. I don't know about Digital Storm. The only reason I buy a custom built PC is if I need one and if I am in a hurry and don't have the time to pick the parts. Or I guess you could go to a local PC place and have them assemble it for you.

Building a computer is like putting together legos and is very easy. You can even reuse your video card, Power Supple, Hard Drive and DVD drive. That should save you a decent chuck of cash. Give us a budget and we can help you out ;)

Provided you can reuse your Video Card, Powersupply, Hard Drive and Disk Drive I came up with this...

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

GIGABYTE GA-MA78LMT-S2 AM3 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm ...

Total is $435

However if you can't or don't want to reuse those parts I can come up with something different

Oh, I'm not worried about assembling it myself, i've built my friend's PC from the ground up and I've upgraded mine twice (550W PSU and the 5750) but I was just wondering if it'd be better to either buy all new parts myself, or go to a site and get one, since they sell the monitor and speaker set aswell, my budget as of right now is 2.1-2.4k, so I'm almost positive I can get a great PC and all the accessories for that much.

build one. think about u can use multiple sites to get the parts for the best prices. if u make it ur self u dont only need to use newegg

Plus you'll get a lot of free gifts. Spend the leftover money on liquid cooling and lots of games

Thanks for the help, I think with the cash left over I'll probably toss a liquid cooling system since the heat in my house is a bit whack, therefore causing my PC to heat up.
