Considering Upgrade

[Infam0us]

Hi guys considering a few upgrades,

Current Spec:

4670K I5

Z77 GD65 MSI

12GB Kingston HyperX

3TB Seagate HDD

Seasonic 550W Gold

GTX 570

Fractal R4

Got roughly £300 for upgrades.

Was looking to get a SSD out of this but not sure which is the best for a 120/128GB, and also a GTX770 MSI although may not be in the same month as I might save for the GFX. Also is it worth getting a H80i, currently using a Cooler Master Hyper T4 CPU Cooler. The aim is to go for a silent but powerful build.

I mostly game on ArmA 3, BF3 (And 4), SWTOR, FIFA 13, GRID2

Thanks

I think you've highlighted the most crucial parts to upgrade..

I recently (today) went from a GTX 570 to a GTX 670 (the £162 ones) and my FPs has rose by 50% atleast.. Great investment, so a 770 would be an amazing shout.

SSD's are a very good bit of kit to have.

Cooler wise, for silence air is better, what overclock do you/want to have on your 4670k?

Yeah I've just seen the deals on 670's, looking at benches between them and 770's and not much in it considering the price difference.

That looks like great value, where did you pick one up from for £162?

I did have an SSD but the power cable out the back snapped as a result of the PSU cable being bent to fit (Blame R4's rear mounted SSDs and my old PSU not having a right angle connector.) So its just a matter of time till I pick one up.

I'm not to fussed about OC on the 4670K I'll just bump the clocks up till temps or stability become an issue. It being silent when idle is moreso the issue for me as I game with headphones on.
