Hey all,
So it's around that time where my ~6/7 year old build is becoming outdated. This time i'm massively out of the loop as the machine has served me well up until now.
I can't afford to fully upgrade the system at the moment although i plan to in the next year or so..
I am wondering if it's worth just upgrading the graphics card(s) for now as i'm noticing that my PC is struggling in newer games (pubg especially) and generally slow when multi tasking video/photo editing.
Current spec:
Mobo: Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67
CPU: I7 2600k @ 4ghz
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H80i
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
GFX: 2x MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB (SLI)
Storage: 256GB SSD + 1TB SATA
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w
I have 2x 144hz monitors
I had an idea to sell the 2x760's then add some more money towards a 1060 6GB card. Roughly £100 or so (depending how much i can sell my old cards for)
Question is though, is it worth the upgrade to tide me over until i can afford a whole new system or should i just wait?
Any advice is appreciated
