Hey guys, getting back into computers recently, my last build which is the one I use now I must have built around 3 years ago the specs are:
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
OcUK GeForce GTX 560Ti 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) HDD
Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - Black
OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £36.65
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual
Channel Kit (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU)
OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Corsair Hydro H60 V2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060007-WW)
Starting comp sci in september at uni so I thought id would be time to treat myself with a nice upgrade or new build? Id rather save the money obviously and go with an upgrade, Im particulary keen on upgrading my gpu to a 970 but how would the rest of the system handle it? would I have to upgrade anything else? also wanted to move the build to a new case and get an SSD. Thanks guys!.
For a new build my budget would be around £700 could go up to £800, also im sure if i were to go with a new build I could reuse some of the components? which ones though? thanks again.
