Monitor and a second graphic's card..

[FIZLAND]

Hey guys,

Been a while since I bought my PC and looking to upgrade as new games are now touching the top end of my specs capability.. I considered getting a second "HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ 3GB GDDR5 PCIe Graphics Card" when this happened and use the crossfire cable.. I also noticed the monitor I got gives a max fps of 60.. You guys were so helpful last time.. Looking for either a good monitor £~200 / graphics card £~100 solution.. Thanks in advance :d

What games are you playing or planning on playing?

Although this is a bit over budget you would be able to play most if not all games at 1080p High/Ultra with no issues:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 580 Red Dragon V2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £239.99
• 1 x LG 24MP59G 24” 1920x1080 IPS 1ms 75Hz Freesync Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor= £149.99

Total: £401.68 (includes shipping: £11.70)​

​

Have you overclocked your CPU? if not then this would help out a bit too as long as you have a reasonable cooler on it.
Also when you have the money, you may want to look at getting an ssd to use as your windows and applications drive, it would make applications load so much faster (it wouldn't have any effect on games though).
