My first piece of advice would be to get rid of that despicable AMD CPU,Yuck.(Im totally biased toward Nvidea lol)

My Seconds piece of advice is to get rid of windows 7,I know people complain about Windows 10,but i've been using it since it released & i couldn't imagine not using it anymore,If you can't afford to spring for 10,then settle for 8/8.5 as i had very little issues with it(Not like I did with Windows 7 & it's need to break everything with it's broken security crap)

Thirdly,Your ram is great,you have more then i do & it's at a decent speed,Your MOBO is also great,I dont know a great deal about the Cooler you got( I looked it up & found 2 diffrent ones,a $62 dollar one & a $139 one),If you have the latter then great,considering i dont know alot about that product i cant say for certain,But basing it on price,if you have the 462 one id consider upgrading to a H100I Corsair water coolers,Two fans+radiator and it mounts to the top of your pc,whisking out that evil heat.

For your hard drive you should pick up a SSD( i got a 250g) to run games like arma & other online games( before i bought my SSD i had a HDD as Primary and my HDD was bottlenecking my performence because of its lower Read/Write speed then a ssd.

Power supply,Personally I dnt like using anything below a 750,But i have a bad history with power supplies not giving enought & short circuiting my shit,So im sure a 500w will be just fine.

Video card seems fine,unless your looking to upgrade then i could recomend a couple.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I've been looking to upgrade back in March. I got the new GPU in March and since then it's been amazing. I was thinking about getting a new Intel CPU, like the i5 6600K or the i7 6700. If I were to upgrade I'll have to buy a new MOBO too. I was also thinking about getting an SSD with the prices being lowered a lot. Thanks for your opinion! It matters a lot to me

Ps.: The cooler is very good. It cost around 55-60$.

I have the Intel i7-4790k and its amazing.as for the water cooler,The H100I is around $100-$125 usually and like i said i prefear it because it is mounted o the top of your case & since heat rises its just assisting the heat in doing what it does natually,But im sure your cooler is perfectly fine

For MOBOs i persoanlly use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132565 * its awsome,Sturdy,Sweet black/red scheme,its made to withstand higher temps,has a neat little button for resetting bios and the such.

For a SSD i went with the Crusial ct-256mx,it was fairly cheap,runs really well, i went with a 225g because i only store Arma 3 & Rainbow Six siege on it(Basicly online games i play) on GPU's Yours is more then adaquite so your good for awhile there(Good news since you just upgraded,Hooray for new parts)

Like i said,I'd recomend a Intel i7-4790k { http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9126832&CatId=11862 } & a ASUS Maximus Hero vii { http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9801386&CatId=9594 }

All together its about $625 us/544.16 pounds,so not terribly expensive & the performance is outstanding.

As for the advice,No problem,Feel free to pm me with any questions you may have regarding anything from Altis Life to pc parts & even comparing foods,Im not a support team member but im more then happy to assist whenever * wherever i can.

In my opinion don't bother getting an SSD unless you have the money to spend. Instead, upgrade your graphics card or processor.

SSD's are nice but I could definitely live without it. Arma 3 runs no different whatsoever, the only games that benefit from SSD's are the ones that take forever to load like GTA and BF4. The biggest benefit with the SSD is that when paired with a good mobo and processor your PC will start up instantly. Still, I think it would make more sense to get a better CPU or maybe even a 970 in that build. 

It still looks like a great computer though even without any upgrades, how much did it cost you?
