What are your thoughts about this and what would I need to change to make my gaming experience better?
 
I think your gaming experience will benefit but not by much. All in all unless your purchusing parts your going to use for a future computer I would save up and buy it all at once
 
Clock that 2.8 up. I have a 3.0 running at 3.5 all day long. I have not even tried to max it out, but I boot Windows fine at 3.71 Ghz, and .05V above stock vcore. I'm sure I can get 3.8 or more out of it...

A good power supply never hurts, what do you have now?
 
Save your money. Or just buy the case. Then it will at least feel like a new computer.
 
The smaller case will certainly make transportation easier, and the added ram might speed load times up a litte. But i think thats about all you'll notice.
 
I have the stock PSU that came with my case... its a thermaltake purepower (or whatever they call it) 420w

overclocked stable to 3.2ghz... but my voltage has to be at 1.625 for it to be stable.
whats the limit on voltage for this processor?
