i7-2600 (non K variety)

[dancook]

I've got £200 to choose as a gift for a SINGLE one item purchase, been struggling to find something, so been thinking about PC upgrading

Can't really overclock cpu due to it not being of the K variety...

Currently have..

Asus Z77 Sabertooth
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Overclocked Graphics Card GV-N98TWF3OC-6GD
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
2 lots of Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)

Playing games at 3440x1440

Playing Skyrim currently modding the crap out of it, it could be smoother.


I read a lot of threads not point upgrading from an overclocked i7 2600K - but that's not me! so wondered if there was other advice?

cheers

I have 2 x 512GB SSD and various 2TB hdds.

Oculus Rift on order.

Just built myself a driving rig with t500, fanatec clubsport v2 pedals, and stuff

Was thinking about a thrustmaster hotas - but it needs to be £200 can't go towards a higher value item... tricky..

x99 is very interesting

could use the £200 for this perhaps?

thanks for the info,

Mechanical keyboard i bought a nice new one recently, speakers quite happy with my Soundsticks II - not sure how much better i can get for £200.

might be getting the £200 as amazon vouchers, so could use them towards something now woo
