£135 to spend

TK421 · 22 Mar 2009 at 10:37

i have £135 to spend on my pc but don't know what to get! i use my pc mainly for gaming. i was going to get another gtx260 and run sli but ppl have said this will be a waste as i am running 1680x1050. i am happy enough with the cooling in my pc so what are my options? :confused:

Why do you want to spend £135 if you don't know what for? Are you having problems in any games, or is benchmark scores where you are focussed?
What is your goal?

You don't really need anything upgrading unless you want a better monitor.

Get an anther GTX260 with £135

in games like crysis, stalker clear sky, cryostasis, farcry2, empire total war you will see almost double performers incise and you will be abele use 8xaa in almost all your games with good frame rates.

Grab yourself a 60GB Solid series SSD by OCZ. That'll bring up performance in everyday usage. And then consider another 4GB RAM, then you can think about turning off the paging file (or move it to your 1TB).

Get an SSD boot drive.
