Hi all!
My PC is due an upgrade. I've stretched it along by sticking in some more memory and an SSD over the last year, but I'm looking at Elder Scrolls V coming up and I know my system won't be up to that come November!
At the moment my systems is as follows:
It's by no means a bad rig, but I'm looking at the OCuk bundles and thinking I could replace the guts and be set up nicely for a few years. I'm also aware that I could swap in a better cooler and overclock the conroe, but I'm not sure if that would bring enough extra horsepower to delay a full upgrade for another year or so.
If my budget was topping out at £400, would you go down the upgrade path (and if so, what would you do?) or should I squeeze some more out of what I've already got?
Many thanks!-Sam
