Help Upgrading

[ogle19]

Hi guys,

I'm fairly unsure as to the best way to proceed and could do with some advise on some new components; my old ATi 6970 just gave up the ghost after two years and I'm looking for a competent replacement for a reasonable price £100-£150 (might be able to stretch if a bit if theres good grounds!). Any other reasonable upgrades you could suggest would be awesome as well - bearing in mind however my budget is very restrictive at the moment!

I'm currently running:

i5 [email protected]
Gigabyte Z68X-UD5-B3
8GB DDR3@670MHz
650W Corsair PSU

I'm not 100% sure of the current setup but that's the best I could find out using CPU-Z!

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

No the CPU isnt Overclocked - it does have an after market cooler on it but I can't remember what its designation is; I got it in a previous bundle about a year and a half ago along with the motherboard and the CPU. I'm using a 128GB Samsung 830 Series SSD and the case is a mid case Coolermaster 50cm x 21cm x 43cm (LxWxH) I can't remember the name

Currently I play CS:GO, Killing Floor 2 and EVE so nothing too stressful!

Resolution is 1920x1080

Thanks for suggesting a couple of replacement graphics cards!

Thanks very much for the advice - I'll look into getting the CPU overclocked and I'll probably be ordering a new graphics card from you in the next couple of weeks! I've read that the new AMD series comes out soon are the prices of the older cards likely to come down?

Cheers!
