Hi All!! :)

At the moment I have Dell T5500 2x Intel xenon Hex core 2.88GHz -16GB DDR 3 Ram and AMD R9 Tri-x 290 Graphics card.

I will like to have good Gaming PC but I don't have Hi budget .

What you think about:
Intel I5 4690K Processor
Asus Z97-AR Motherboard
Teamgroup Elite DDR3 16GB 1600MHz
AMD R9 Tri-x 290 Graphics card

Is this any good to swap with my old PC ?

Please help or suggest

Many thanks:)

Hi

I have run 3DMark ( the basic Directx 11 ) and the score shows ''above Gaming PC '' with 12474 score

Wind 7 shows:
Processor 7.8
RAM 7.9
Graphics 7.9
3D Graphics 7.9
I don't have any lags in game but fps some times shows 140/120

Some people said that the xenon processor is not for games .

So should I change my old setup ?

Thank you
 
you have a strong system at present. for games though it lacks in single core strength where the i5 comes into play.

what games are you playing? would you see much higher fps with building something new?
would the outlay be worth it?

So should I stay with my present system?

Games are:
WoT
Black ops 1/2
GTA V
Sleeping Dogs
 
I would say for the games youre playing if youre running on high settings youre getting a good fps.

If anything I would look at better cooling for the cpu's and see if you could overclock them
 
youre Graphics card is a good one. there are newer cards out there. I would wait to next year on the card as I don't think there is anything out there the now that would be a worthwhile upgrade tbh.

when I say cooling I was meaning cpu. would be worth looking to see if you can fit an aftermarket cooler which would cool it better and let you have a bit more overclocking room. saying that though.. Im not sure if the bios will be locked to prevent overclocking

still worth looking at better cooling though as this will prevent any throttling issues that you might get with some games if the temps were to rise
