New Gaming PC

[ShantzMD]

Hello everyone, I've recently gotten a new job making more money and gotten tax money back and I am getting the itch to upgrade my pc. I last built my PC almost exactly 4 years ago.

1. My PC will be used for gaming (Dota 2, Titanfall, COD, TF2, Dragonball xenoverse, and some others) , telecommuting to work, school work for my wife.
2. My budget is $1,000
3. I am in the US in NY state
4. I have had great experiences with Newegg in the past
5. Don't really have a brand preference other that looking at the Intel I5s and Z97 Platform
6. I am keeping my CoolerMaster HAFX case, mouse and keyboard, ASUS VS278Q-P 27" Widescreen LED, dvd and bluray drive, and possibly CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W power supply
7. I probably wont overclock
8. I run at 1080P
9. I have the itch now because current system has had some instability issues (blue screens).
10. Probably just need windows.

My current setup is:
Cooler Master HafX Case
Corsair TX 650W Power Supply
Intel I5-2500k
Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67
G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II OC Radeon HD 6950 2GB
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
Crucial M500 CT240M500SSD1 2.5" 240GB SATA III
Corsair K95
Logitech G500

So what is a good upgrade plan for me? Your help is much appreciated.

The build that you have is pretty solid as is, it might be better to determine what the faulty part of your system is before doing a whole new build. It could be that one of the components that you plan on transferring to the new build is the one at fault. Frankly I'd recommend some troubleshooting to find the defective part(s) and go from there. As long as the faulty part is not the motherboard I'd replace the part and upgrade the GPU. It's really the only part of your current system that's a bit past its prime as the i5 2500K is still a plenty strong CPU.

Endicott eh? I've been through there quite a few times (my old company rented an ex-IBM building for a DC).

Anyway, I agree with nsafreak, most of your components are totally fine, you could replace the CPU/mobo/GPU and call it good. For example:

i5 4690K $240
ASRock Z97 Killer $100 AR
PowerColor R9 290X $280 AR
Total: $620
