Currently running a q6600 @ 3.2ghz, abit ip35 mobo, 4gb ocz ram, ati 4870, 620w hx modular corsair psu, haf x case, tuniq tower cpu cooler, 90gb ocz ssd. I've been planning on an upgrade for a while just havent fully been driven to it yet. Im looking to upgrade to the i5 2500k oc'ed bundled first then upgrade my gpu in a month or so.
I play a lot of games / watch movies on my pc and do some video edditing. I primarily play WoW on it (dont judge me
). Im currently playing on low settings with mediocre fps in raids which does struggle at times especially under fraps load. Im wondering if buying the bundle before the gpu would give me a substantial fps boost to play on ultra with high fps, or vice versa. Or whether my card will "bottleneck" or w/e the cpu. I know ideally you want a balance of hardware and not a low end component with a high end one, but sadly cash restraints etc.
The small print on the oc'ed bundles say any changes to the bios will void its warranty, does that apply if I simply just change the option for AHCI for my ssd?
Is it possible to request some changes to a bundle, like add more ram to is or would is "slow" down the oc?
There are two bundles out atm, which would be the better of the two, the gigabyte or the asus one?
I can wait a bit longer for an upgrade if there is anything coming around the corner soon, but there still will be a gap between purchasing bundle and gpu. Reading theres been some issues with sandy chips so thought there maybe a "revised" version or somat out soon.
Had a couple more questions but minds gone blank while typing this thread lol.
Any help would be ace, cheers.
