£800 Upgrade

GothicCorpse · 20 Jul 2015 at 14:34

Hey i will be getting around £800 to spend soon first i need a new case that will fit in Silverstone SST-HE01 Heligon.

Also my specs are 8 gigs ddr3 r9 290 and fx 8320 how would you upgrade this pc i basically spend most of my life gaming.

I guess could get a new keyboard and a mouse i use left handed even though i am right handed? maybe a bigger hd since 500 gigs is being a pain with 800 games on steam.

not sure what to get just know i definitely need a new case.

thanks for helping GothicCorpse

anyone?

Any case preferences e.g mATX or ATX?

Also I assume you don't have a SSD at the moment?

What monitor do you have?

Your current GPU and CPU are fine as it stands.

Well here's not a bad way to spend £500

YOUR BASKET
1 x AOC G2460PQU 24" Widescreen 144Hz 1ms Gaming LED Monitor - Gunmetal £199.99
1 x Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E500B/EU) £155.99
1 x Fractal Design Define R5 Midi Tower Case - Black Window £88.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £58.99
Total : £520.46 (includes shipping : £13.75 Ex.VAT).

As I said no need to upgrade CPU or GPU yet, maybe GPU in near future if you decide to get a 1440p monitor.
