Hey all,
Am very much out of the loop for the current gen in hardware but would like to upgrade my system as my last upgrade was Jan 11. My Current specs are as follows:
i5-2500k
8gb 1600mhz ram (cmx4gx3m2a1600c9)
evga gtx 570
Gigaybyte P67A-UD4
Enermax galaxy 1000w
1TB Samsung 3.5"
I am looking to replace the Motherboard, Graphics card, PSU, and add an SSD
So far I have been looking at the GTX 680 or a 760/770?? Which would be better or would there be a better Ati alternative? Looking at reviews the 680's seem to out perform the 770's?? (I'm thinking max 300 for graphics card).
Motherboard wise I think around 150ish would get me a decentish board?? Should I be looking at the Z77 chipsets??
Power supply doesn't need to be 1000w I know, but what brands are good nowadays?
SSD am looking for around a 256GB one but have no clue on which are ok or not lol.
Basically I am looking to spend around 700 but am well aware that it could go a bit above that as I would like the ssd etc so can stretch further if need be.
As ever, a HUGE thank-you in advance for any advice <3
