Next Upgrade

Marky · 1 Sep 2007 at 23:52

Hey all,

I have some spare money that I'd like to spend on my rig

Specs are in my sig (if you have any other questions on it, just ask

)

So - what should I spend it on?

a nice big case and get some watercooling

Replace that hiper before it blows and takes half your rig with it?

You have a nice balanced system, dont see any upgrade options.

depends on how picky you want to be

theres always something to upgrade.

Bigger hdd?
New case?
more ram?
Better graphics?

i only upgrade if its worth it and also by how much it would cost to get that increase in performance

What does your system not do that you want it to? Essentially your question will answer itself, if there is nothing obvious then spend the money on something else or save it until there is something you do need.

Hmm I've been considering changing my PSU because it's started to make a horrible tapping noise constantly. Also, maybe some new speakers and a new case would be pretty good.

If any of you have any recommendations, just say

PSU is probably the simplest recommendation, either of these two would make for a good choice.

What sort of budget do you have for your case? £30ish gets you an Akasa Zen, £60ish gets you a Lian-Li PC7+ and £90ish gets you an Akasa Eclipse. It depends if you like the look of them or not though, there are other choices obviously for the budget but those would be mine probably.

i like the mirage, more or less the same as the eclipse but with a door

depends if you want simple lines or abox of leds.

corsair psu are highly recommended

speakers, you looking at 2.1, 5.1, or 7.1 ?

Probably just 2.1 (I assume thats 2 speakers and the boom box

)

How about spending it on something non-computer related? You've got a decent PC, why not try something new?
