Things to buy:
Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.66 GHz
MSI P55
2 x 4 GBs DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 560 Ti 1.0 GB (costs about $400 here in Syria)
Seagate or WesternDigital 500 GBs of HDD (I already have 500 GBs; I want it doubled)
A 700W PSU (suggest a good vendor??)

Things to sell:
Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz
MSI P31 Neo V2
2 x 2 GBs DDR2
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO Far Cry 2 Edition 1.5 GBs
Discovery ATX-450

I would like to know how much would I have to pay, of course after removing the money of the things I'm selling out of the total cost i.e. what I want is Total Cost = New rig costs - Old one cash

Thanks

I have everything else (case, DVD drive, etc...)

A few adjustments:
Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.67 GHz or Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.4 GHz
MSI P55 (i5) or P67 (i7)
ASUS or MSI or eVGA GeForce 560 Ti 1.0 GB

But still no one helped :(
 
Dont really know. It all depends on how much you get for the old stuff. And how much the new stuff cost in Syria.
 
Uhm, well, all things other than the GPU have the same price as other countries.
And, I've estimated my old stuff to be worth about $350 (maybe it's not precise)...
 
You current CPU is still very good. Sure i5 750 is faster than Q9550, but I don't think you will notice any big difference between the too. At least get i7 2600 or i5 2500 if you want to upgrade

4GB ram is more than enough for gaming

The only weak part you have is your current video card. GTX 560 Ti should be a huge upgrade over 9600GSO, and you should certainly see a huge difference in gaming performance even if you don't upgrade the other parts in your PC. Also, I would get eVGA GTX 560 Ti (unless if the MSI or Asus models are cheaper)
 
Basically you're just asking people to look up prices for you, but as no one here is going to be familiar with any Syrian computer parts dealers it would probably be more efficient to look them up yourself.
 
LOL, because I'm finding too many different prices FOR THE SAME ITEM :/ and as I mentioned before, only the GPUs cost more than other countries.

@maroon1: well yeah, but I intend to get a new MOBO as well, because the PCI-E x16 is 1.0 :/ and about the RAM, sometimes it peaks to 3.9 GBs, so I do need to upgrade :P

Uhm, well I bought other parts. Just one last question: would Kingston KVR133D3N9/4G DIMM work with an Intel Core i7 960 processor??
 
It depends on the Mobo(DDR3, Max memory per slot, speed{MHZ}), and also the OS has to be 64 bit to utilize more than like 3.75GB...but it should work with that CPU.
 
Alright, I had to make some adjustments, but I'm getting it all done tomorrow :D :
Intel Core i7-960 @ 3.2 GHz
Asus X58 MOBO
Extra Seagate 500 GBs SATA HDD (will have 1 TB)
Asus ENGTX560 Ti 1 GB GPU
2 x 4 GBs of DDR3 RAM (Kingston)
Thermaltake W0356-700W PSU

Tell me what do you think :D
