Total Upgrade 2

adam2008 · 5 Sep 2013 at 16:13

Hey,

Looking to upgrade my pc as im going to pick up the TW:Rome 2 at the weekend. Current rig in my signature, its served me well but its starting to struggle with what I want to do now. Got an Antec 900 case, so hoping to keep that if all the new parts would still fit in it. Got around £600 to spend on CPU, GPU, MOBO, SSD, PSU and memory, would be much appreciated if someone could spec me.

Cheers,
Adam

+1 for this it is a nice setup for not too much and should keep you going for a long time to come.

my 2 cents,

- Faster RAM, 1600Mhz vs 2666Mhz
- Faster newer SSD
- Better PSU (Seasonic internals but it's currently out of stock)
- Cracking GPU that can be overclocked near as it doesn't make a difference to the HD 7950
