I'm looking to upgrade my PC to an i5 setup, where possible without impacting on performance I would like to re-use what I can.
I'm upgrading so I can play games like SW battlefront and Fallout4.
Below is my current setup:
Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL DEAL** £149.99
Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £99.95
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02050) £79.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) £69.98
MSI H67MA-E35 Intel H67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro-ATX Motherboard - (Sandybridge) **B3 REVISION** £61.99
Antec High Current Gamer 520W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £56.99
BitFenix Shinobi Gaming Case - Black £39.98
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX) **BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL DEAL** £34.99
OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £17.99
As you can see I took advantage of some excellent Black Friday deals a couple of years ago and the bundle was put together with the help of fellow forum users.
so in essence is there anything I can do to take advantage of this years deal - I was thinking perhaps looking either a MB/CPU/Memory bundle and an upgraded Graphics card or perhaps just keep the current MB and get a new CPU and Graphic Card, you will see I have a 520W power unit so I guess depending of what cards are out there this might need increasing to - I would like to be able to just plug my hard-drive in and just boot up with minimal configuration.
Your help as always is greatly appreciated.
In terms of cost I would like to keep the price down as low as possible
Thanks
