1155 replacement question

Teknodeamon · 26 Nov 2015 at 23:19

Hey everyone.

I fancy upgrading my hardware.

Currently have an i5 2500k, 16 gig ram and a 770gtx.

I recently bought a philips 4k 40 inch monitor, do you think its worth getting another 770gtx to sli and perhaps a sandybridge i7? Or should i just rip and replace it all. Looking for bang for buck rather than blowing money.

Cheers for any advice!

Keep the 2500k, you got a decent cooler and overclock on it?

Maybe sell youre current 770 and buy one decent card as good as funds permit.

Yea defo agree keep the 2500k, I have one clocked at 4.2Ghz Stable which gives better performance than AMD FX 8150 Octa Core:

Cool, thanks for the advice. What card would you get which is a good upgrade over the 770 for some 4k action?

4k action you're really looking at a 980ti, (I presume you are on about gaming at 4k?

Aye! Cant remember what cooler I have and I think I removed the OC from the i5 a few years ago, cant remember why ;p

Find out what cooler you've got, I'm guessing its not gonna be amazing so I'd suggest buying a high performance air cooler or an AIO and putting a big OC on it, Sandy bridge CPU's are straight forward to OC and can quite easily get a high clock on them
