Current PC- Motherboard: EP35C-DS3R
- Processor: Q9550
- RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333

- Power Supply: Coolermaster Silent Pro 700W
So that's my current PC. I currently have an old Asus 4850 video card and an e8400 processor. I'll probably sell those for around $175-$200 on my local Craigslist. I was thinking of doing a CPU/Mobo swap and get an i5 3570k and a Z77. I would sell my existing Gigabyte/Processor combo for around $350-$400 probably on CL as well.
I could probably go out and get those upgrades, but then I look at my lonely 22" monitor. The monitor is still going well, but I see that the
Planar 27" monitor I've had my eye on is around $250.
So now is the issue at hand.
Should I go with my gut, sell my old Video Card/CPU combo for $150-$200 and get the monitor?
OR
Should I wait a bit, sell the four items as a combo deal for around $450?
OR
Do something differently?
