Ok guys little winter upgrade that didnt happen lastime around but really got into my iRacing and this old rig is feeling abit rusty.

I did want to go amd on gfx and intel on overclocked bundle, been threw the motions and apparantly nVid for gfx is the "Best"....

Dont need ssd. hdd, case. Hopefully can use my very old antec. do have sounds card if needed old power supply newer gfx.
So fire away with all you have for Bundle - Gpu - Psu.
Main use / iRacing and CS:GO and maybe new fps games.
thanks Was hoping inbetween £650 £750. maybe £800 if its REALLLLLLLLy worth the extra,. ahhhhh that old chestnut!

Cheers

Sorry i didnt mean from fresh with F5. Ive got ssd and hdd.
is it not worth trying to use an old case? im not sure what size it is. not small tho thats for sure.
Would you not bother with an OC bundle? not really into the overclocking myself so i thought id buy one?

This is what i did have, will take a pic of case now
 
this case was in a room at 1 point when in was re plastered,
What do you think of the bundle i put on?

Amd GPU or Nvidia?
 
Right yeah I would really like the option for 2 cards. Do you think that be quiet 730 will stand up to 2 cards?
Sorry to Sound like a parrot do you think the 970 is worth the extra 60 over the r90?

Thanks for your time
 
ok im happy to get indiviual components. And i would rather not get small stuff atx stuff rather have the normal full size nice and easy to worth with, is a mid tower the biggest for before getting a server case?

pretty much got my heart set on the Gigabyte gtx 970, I would like a mobo to take 2 cards and i think i might push for the i7 after all i do make my machines last 4 years ;-)
Really thanks for your help! Little bit behind but never mind!! I seen some of these "mid" cases for £20 on the site im not into making things look cool etc with lights and fancy cases so cheaper the better really. If we are happy with the 730W bequiet Psw.

cheers

Ok so got these parts i like the case you found better, "ALL" i need is hopefully an i7 chip clockable with a board that will take x2 970's and onboard sound would save more space.

Hopefully it can be done in budget!

Is that possible studil to to just use the stock cooler for now then in some time get a small hydro cooler that i think look good for people like myself?

imagine getting all your new pc and then putting all together and it dont fit ! DOH!!!

Cheers

They all good (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte) you are not making a bad choice with either.

Even the Zotac is ok and has a 5year warranty.

That sounds good like 5years Hmmm.
I notice on that card it has less slots than the giga one. I Might try and get a few extra monitors for iracing at some point. Will that restrict me ?

God just seen some other SPEC threads you do a lot of helping people out on specing up eh :D
 
this one has a three year and its the one i was looking at the benchmarks that were better than the r90's

If you think its better than let do it, I do have a 120 SSD one of the first one and i dont think my mainboard gets the full speed out of it, and also a 500 Samsung F1
Ive got a synoligy running at home with a few beastys in it. might try and sneak a bigger ssd in the build my bf4 folder is 35G alone !
