Been out of the loop do I rebuild or upgrade

[hornett]

Sorry seems to be a few of these posts but I can't decide where to rebuild my PC or just upgrade some of the parts.

This is my current spec

i7 930
Gigabyte X58-UD3R
6Gb DDR3 Triple Channel "Patriot" Ram
5770 Vapor X
64Gb SSD
Corsair 600 PSU
Antec P180 Tower

At the moment the gcard is a major issue really needs replacing but I have tried to crossfire on this Mobo before and the slots are to close.

So do I just spend a nice chunk of cash on a Gcard and be done with it or do I use what I have and upgrade Mobo, Chip, Ram, Gcard ???

I have had the 930 OC'd its running stock at the moment.

I was considering just throwing in a 670 but was worried the rest of the kit might be a bottleneck for it

a nice 7850/7950 would suit you tbh,esp with the current deal on

everything else would be ok imo,till skylake arrives then I would upgrade

3.8ghz should be do able,if you need settings I can help you

Nice one I might take you up on that offer once I upgrade.

Is it not worth going for a 7970 something like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-303-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

Yer was looking at the MSI HD 7950 seems a tidy card

Right just bought the MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III should keep me going for a bit.

Will look at overclocking the i7 later

my 930 @ 3.8 and a 7950 eats anything including metro at 1080p.... maybe if you game at higher resolutions then a full rebuild could be in order.

What cooler do you have, I have the corsair H50 and could never get it stable at anything over 3.4..............although that could be my crappy settings
