time for an upgrade

j0s · 15 Oct 2013 at 16:11

My last rig was built in 2008, so I think its time for a upgrade. I am so out of touch now with components so asking for ideas.

I am looking to spend around £700, I already have a case, monitor, keyboard mouse etc. So looking at CPU, mobo, Ram, SSD, GFX card and an extra HD fro storage as i will use my old computer rig as a home server.

Any suggestions?

Can you list all the parts you have already.

What do you use the pc for?

Purchased the above apart from buying the i7 as it was on offer.

I am thinking of buying one of the new AMD graphics card reading the specs it needs a 8pin pcie connector, I am also looking at watercooling as well so need a new PSU.

Any recommendations?

Thanks
