Big upgrade

TerrierHTFC · 2 Feb 2011 at 16:10

Thinking of an upgrade, mainly due to the insanely cheap graphics cards on here at the minute. Currently running a GTX 280 and i5 750 on a cheap Gigabyte p55 mobo.

Specced this up to go in my existing Corsair 700D, along with an Asus Xonar DS, DVD Writer and 4gb Corsair XMS ram I already have (same as below)

Thoughts?

So what's wrong with what you already have? To be honest you could probably do with just upgrading the graphics card and sticking a decent SSD in. The i5 750 is still a brilliant chip for anything...

Nothing wrong with the i5 (apart from I got a lousy overclocker!) but I'd like to move to an sli setup, and it seems daft to spend £100+ on a new 1156 motherboard.

Erm, I'd be buying everything on that list bar the CPU anyway, bar a different motherboard (for more or less the same price).
