Hi guys,

Having moved from home, for the last 3 years I haven't really used my PC, certainly not for gaming. I movd over to PS4 and couch play.

However, after seeing and being reminded of all the Humble Bundle games and also logging into Steam and seeing my 298 games collection. I'm thinking about getting back into PC gaming. especially with VR around the corner...(or is it out yet?)

Anyways, currently I have (from what I remember)

AMD 7950 (Can remember just over 3 years ago buying this for around £300 but not really usig it)
i5 2500k (think clocked to 4.2ghz)
8gb HyperX Ram

Think thta's bout it for the main 3 components. Just had a quick look on Overclockers to see where my card lays, but looks like all cards have rebranded numbers since I was last hooked on the upgrade chain.

So can anyone tell me how my system will fair for the current crop of games?
Have I now shifted from (for back then) Ultra/High settings down to medium?

Thanks in advance
 
Not a bad set up already. Could just add another 8gb and then a RX480/GTX1060 and I would imagine you will get more than enough performance @ 1080p
