£700 upgrade

[Liquiduk]

I am having a massive itch for the upgrade AGAIN!! I use my computer for video editting, rendering and mostly playing games. I honestly think with my current specs i'll only be taking my HDD's, RAM and CPU coller over to my new machine. Also to note, I am making this new machine a looker (build-log to follow). I will be selling my current bits and bobs to make back the £100 over budget.

Specs:

AMD Athlon ii x4 640 3.0ghz
Sapphire HD 5830
Corsair xms 4x4GB
MSI 870-C45
Cooler Master 430 Elite
500w Elite PSU

i2600k/i2700k may be more suitable to your needs but more expensive.

I like the suggestion for the PSU but I am looking for a modular one, sorry I didn't point it out. And I am not willing to budge on the case choice. How much more of a perfomance boost can I expect from the 2600Ks?

 

[fowler002]

the case is anything but budget, but its your choice. will have to leave the cpu question to those in the know.
