Recently my computer has sort of killed itself, not really but power outages have just killed my motherboard and its at the shop right now getting fixed and i was thinking to myself well..... since ill have to replace the motherboard and probaly the powersupply..... why not do a full upgrade. So this is what i have right now.

NZXT case i dont even think they make this case anymore, all i can do is just describe it. Its a small case for a large graphics card, and the airflow kinda crappy.

----so i was thinking about getting the Cooler Master HAF 932 since i have all AMD products running in my case =) as seen in the newegg video if anyone has watched it.

CPU-->AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE

---- Would it be a good idea to upgrade to the six core

RAM--> 4gb im not totally sure what it is because i dont have it next to me and i forgot what was in it... i know im retarded you dont have to say it.

---- would it be a good idea to get 8?? just for future advances?

PSU is somewhere in 700 -750w range. and i was planning on upgrading to a larger graphics card later on.

----What would be a decent Power Supply?

HDD 1tb its a slow drive, so i want to upgrade it maybe to either a fast HDD or even an SSD but for a good price.

Graphics Card is a PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 5870 not looking to upgrade but any suggestions for an even better card would be appreciated.

get the HAF 932 get a quad core.six cores would be overkill. 8 gb of RAM is good a 750W psu is good as long as its reliable..(make company) HDD samsung spinpoint 5870 is monster no upgrade from that. (maybe get a gtx 580 or 6970 less power and less heat.)
