upgrade advice.....

ok yes i know the simple answer is there is no point at all upgrading my pc. But i have the upgrade itch and it hasn't quite been filled.
Current system spec:
i7 2600k (oc to 4.8)
asus p8p67 pro
16gb corsair vengence (4x4)
dual 290's
ocz vertex 4 128gb ssd
1 gb wd black
1000w superflower plat psu
all under a custom waterloop
So my question is what can i upgrade to gain any benefits

i run eyefinity so have high res before i get the usual talk of pure overkill at 1080

Only thing I can suggest is a bigger SSD, part form that you be wasting money for no gain.

oh i am perfectly aware there is very little point

but i am bored and like new toys to play with

what RJC says pretty much, if you simply cannot resist the urge then maybe a newer i7 but your taking a massive gamble if you go down the haswell route unless your planning on delidding one, 4.8 on your 2600k is very nice. What case do you have? water loop expansion perhaps?

What case do you have?

You might want to think about upgrading that 1GB HDD, appearently they sell 1TB HDD's now.. :eek:

haha sorry you know what i meant

i have a 900d case so that pretty much holds my pc

SiDeards73 · 4 Jan 2014 at 09:39

Expansion to the loop?

im guessing your already running 2 gpu blocks and a cpu block anyhow lol, mobo under water and ram?

could look at perhaps an upgrade in that direction if not

Iron you're £50 notes and build a card pyramid.

SiDeards73 · 4 Jan 2014 at 09:41

might just have to hunt for an elusive 7970 matrix platinum waterblock and silence the mrs pc instead
