Hello fellow overclockers, so I haven't upgraded for a few years now and am currently running the following:
• Q6600 overclocked to 3.6Ghz
• 6 Gig Ram
• 2 x 580 GTX
• MOBO
I am looking to upgrade the above components, my PC is used mainly for gaming and I game across 3 screens with a resolution of 5760 x 1080.
Both my CPU and current GPU's are water-cooled so would need water-blocks for these as part of the build.
My PSU is 1200 watt so assume this is more than enough to power an increase in GPU power.
I also have a small solid state my my operating system and would like to increase this to 512 GB.
I don't really have a set budget in mind (although am expecting to have to spend 1k-1.5k), and don't know whether to purchase a single card or SLI config (like I have these days) ? and how much RAM is advised these days (I am inclined to have 12gb+ as I do some basic work with photos).
If you could help me out with some suggestions it would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Lea
