£150-£200 upgrade

paradisiac · 4 Aug 2011 at 17:15

ok, so after the sale of my 2 HD6850s i have around £150-£200 to spend. now im considering maybe going for a bigger SSD, but then my current 40GB still have over 15GB free. so maybe a 120Hz monitor, but will a single GTX460 handle it @ 1920x1080? last thing was probably the psu, as mine is an evo labs one, but its doing the job comfortably now from what i can tell, so is it worth shelling out £150 on a new one?
other than that im stumped as what to go for. i did think 2600k, but i dont use it enough for stuff that uses the extra threads. or a ASRock FATAL1TY Z68 PRO, but will i use any of its features before ivy bridge, and by then im sure better mobos will be around.

any input welcome.

why not sell the 460 as well and use the money to get a 6970 or a 570

I may have played this hand before but in my eyes it's a winner so here goes....

Buy a case of bud and put the rest away til you actually need to spend it, don't let it burn a hole in your pocket and spend it just cos ya have it.

been looking into 3D, mainly for films, but it seems very expensive.
