Ok, so my graphics card has just died and my paycheck is due in a weeks time. Perfect excuse for an upgrade!
So I'm looking to upgrade graphics card and motherboard (and any other components you guys suggest) to at least to be able to play Total War: Warhammer with a budget of approx £700 ±£100 or so. No Peripherals or OS needed.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to go about speccing an upgrade, so your advice is greatly appreciated!
Current Specs:
VTX3D HD 7870 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (Dead)
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM
Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ ZT 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply
BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - Black
TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Thermalright True Spirit 120 CPU Cooler
Thanks in advance
