Hi all

I'm a useless muppet and know nothing.

I bought this system back in 2012 but would like to upgrade preferably the GPU but will upgrade the CPU and motherboard if I really have too. Im messing about with BF atm but having to have the settings on medium to get ok FPS is a tadge naff.

Your suggestions and advice will be much appreciated

this is my current setup

Titan 8300i Supersaurus" Intel 4.60GHz Quad Core System
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Superclocked 2048MB GDDR5
OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD
Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator Case
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte Z68X-UD5 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Int. Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OE
OCZ ZX Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply

Cheers in advance

Budget upto £1000 if it has to be, would rather it just be a GPU for £3-400 tbh
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

It appears as though its only overclocked by 2.1%. I've ran CPU-Z and P95. thats interesting as Ive never messed with anything and the original info states oc'd to 4.6ghz

So which GPU do you suggest? GTX970 if so which one, OC's, Asus or Gigabyte?

thanks again guys much appreciated

edit: apologies you said 980? much improvement with the 980 over the 970? as thats a big price jump for someone who only messes about gaming

This is an Overclockers setup bud. Not that Im arsed as tbh they were superb when I bought it but do find it strange that its not overclocked.
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the advice. Ended up getting the Gigabyte G1 GTX980 and getting another 8gb Ram.

Installed no probs and running like a dream

Thanks again guys for taking the time to help a muppet
