New Upgrades/System

liamk13490 · 14 Aug 2012 at 16:20

Hi all been a long time, looking into upgrading current set up or possibly buying new one.

Currently have;
Intel I7 920 Overclocked to 3.2ghz
Nvidia GTX 295
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
Corsair 620w
6 GB DDR3
Antec 1200 case
SSD and HDs

Any suggestions would be a great help, bit out of touch now.

Budget? Do you need OS, monitor, peripherals etc or are you re-using? Do you want any more storage space? What's it's use going to be?

About £600, everything else is going to be re-used

Add a new GFX card and then wait for Intels new Haswell.

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
GeForce GTX 670 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.

And you have a good PSU, a few years old, but still nice.

Anything else I should look at upgrading?

stulid · 14 Aug 2012 at 21:10

Got a nice screen/keyboard/mouse?

liamk13490 · 14 Aug 2012 at 22:03

May get a new screen after all, any suggestions?

Ben q 120hz ones? Add another 6gb of ram maybe?

This caught my eye Samsung S27A750Dhttp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-165-SA&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat=

Only 1080p, looks odd in my opinion when sitting up close, too pixelated for me. The difference between 24 and 27 inch when up close is'nt too much really, it'll look better as 1080p on a 24" looks correct compared to a 1080p 27".

liam13490 · 15 Aug 2012 at 10:52

Ah ok, around the same budget what would you guys say is my best option?

Trusty · 15 Aug 2012 at 11:34

The Ben Q's are highly rated, get a 120 hz one.
