Hi guys
Pondering on what to upgrade
Current spec
X58 UD5 gigabyte mainboard usb 2.0
6 Gig triple channel patriot ram DDR3
ATI 6950 2GB
1TB HDD
I7 920 CPU clocked to 3.0ghz
cant rememeber but i have a really decent corsair 750W psu cost me £120 very efficient
running at 1920x1080
Looking to upgrade/add
Graphics possibly Crossfire (ATI preferable)
Mainboard for USB 3.0 also easy and stable overclocking gigabyte preferably or a better suggestion and reasoning
SSD is a definite again recommendations looking to mainly just install OS as i have my 1TB for data storage.
A new PC full tower case was looking at the phantom ? for £110 i think something fancy anyway
CPU upgrade if required.
Last note watercooling suggestion aswell ive never watercooled but i feel competant enough to install it always used to use Aircool but hated the noise generated.
Not 100% what is worth keeping really but i dont see much improvement with I7 series CPU? so again any feedback on something not worth upgrading welcome
Any other suggestions just an idea of what people would upgrade if it were their rig
Upgrade cost £550 to £900 Cheaper and expensive options if thats ok
