Hi all,

Anny assistance advise would be much appreciated. I'm looking to upgrade this old PC I have. Im looking to spend about £500, any recommendations?

Can I get away with just upgrading the CPU and the GC?

1. Powercolor Radeon R9 280 TurboDUO 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
2. Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail
3. MSI H81M-P33 Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard
4. Corsair CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2400Mhz

Many thanks

Awesome, thanks guys. removed the link.

Ive seen a Zotac GTX 1070 on an auction site for 260, is that worth it then, or do you think I should hold out for the announcement?

 

[DazedNFused]

I got one for £250 , got too excited so couldnt wait

I think I'll need a new psu as mines 500w, and about 5 years old, should I change this too? Or will it be ok?

 

[DazedNFused]

It's actually 600w! OCZ Technology OCZ600SXS

Cool, thanks for confirming. If I was to get a new one what would you suggest I'd like it as silent as possible. Thanks

Around the £100 mark
