Hey guys,

Looking for abit of upgrade advice, seems quite a common theme this time of year!

Specs below:

Intel Core i5 4670K - Cooled with a Matterhorn Pure - OC'ed to 4.6ghz
MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Motherboard
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU
Patriot 8GB (2x 4GB) 2133MHz Dual Channel DDR3 Viper 3 Black Mamba
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO


While it doesn't struggle with any current games, it's been a year and a half and I'm looking to give it a little pickup!

Cheers
 
Well the core components are fine, do you have a nice monitor and keyboard/mouse setup?
 
I recently bought a new 144hz monitor, new mouse and mech keyboard so all good on that front.

How much of a boost would a 2nd gfx card give me, and could the PSU support it? That's a pretty decent price. One of these cards is quite loud on it's own though,2 might be too much!

You would want a 700-750W PSU.
 
Yeah I see what you mean, a GTX970 form Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS or the Galax infinity edition are all quiet cards.
