Hi All,

I've been out of the loop for quite a while now. My current rig is a Core 2 Duo E8400, 8gb ddr2 800 and 2 x GTX 275's in SLI.

It still games really well but I've got the itch and would eventually like to upgrade to a 1080p monitor. I'm currently using a 22" Widescreen HP (1680 x1050).

I've decided on the Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz processor however I need some help matching Ram and a decent motherboard to it.

I'm also after a SSD and a graphics card that will beat my old SLI setup (Doesn't necessarily have to be another SLI setup).

I have case, a decent Corsair TX series PSU (750watts)

I plan on keeping my current mechanical hard drives (3 x 500gb WD black in raid 5).

I'd like to aim for 16gb ram.

Budget is £700 - £1000 inc VAT

Cheers Ian

PSU is made by Seasonic has been known to be more reliable than Corsair and allows xFire, Mono allows xFire and you get UK RMA.
 
snips has a nice spec.

Few points though. The Lexa S is pretty old school, I had one for a whole and wasn't a fan of it.

He also says he has a case and psu. :)
