Looking to upgrade my computer since it's been quite awhile(6.5 years)
I live in SoCal (for shipping)

Is it a big difference to wait for black Friday vs purchasing it now?
Budget: Pretty flexible but ~$1k
Here's what my current setup looks like:

XFX Radeon HD 6950 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150530
Cool Master Hyper 212 + https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
Seagate Desktop HDD 500 GB https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148767
Corsair CX Series 600W https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
Rosewill Challenger Mid Tower https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147060
Motherboard ASUS P8Z68
CPU Intel Core i5-2500k CPU @ 3.30 GHZ
8 Gigs of RAM (random?)

Any help will be great! Thank you <3

Fill this out:

Code
Budget:
Maximum you will spend? -
Will you complete mail in rebates? -
If so, may we go over-budget if rebates bring you within budget? -
Do you need Windows Operation System within budget? -
Need a Monitor? / Mouse? / Keyboard within budget? -

Basic Info:
Specific Uses (Programs, game titles etc.) -
Country? -
Will you travel to NCIX (canada) or Microcenter (USA) for parts? (Null if unsure) -

How much hard drive space do you want or need? -
Will you use wireless or wired internet? -
Will you overclock CPU and/or GPU? -
Any special requests or useful things to tell us? (Specific case, need lots of storage, audio etc.) -

Style (optional)
Do you prefer any specific colors for the build/computer case? -
Do you prefer a window on your case? -
*(Please note how picky you will be with colors. Sometimes it's just not feasible to get some colors on certain parts)*
