Hello guys,

Thinking of treating myself to a upgrade, Looking to spend no more than 400 quid if possible and i would like to try the Intel route this time as i have always used AMD in the past. My current computer specs are ...

AMD 955
Asus Crosshair 3
8GB Viper Ram DDR3
Corsair H70
Thermaltake 750 Watt psu
Thermaltake gaming case
MSI 580 GeForce

I might want to SLI in the future so i will need that feature. I guess ill need to upgrade my PSU because of the new CPU and current GPU. Plus i have only 60GB SSD so might need to upgrade that to.

Any advise would be great.

Cheers guys,
Paul
 
Thanks for the reply Sparx,

Yes you are correct, I do currently have the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 750W and all the parts to my computer are all in full working order. I would not require the GPU as i am currently running a GeForce nVidia 580 and possibly going to buy another in the future.

My case is the Thermaltake Element V so will be plenty big enough for whatever i throw in it.
 
So you think the current PSU will be okay with the i5 and the GPU ? Know ill be looking at 1k+ if i was to go SLI in the future but would be nice to save a few pennies until that time.
 
Okay cool.

One last question. I no longer have the box for my Corsair H70 and i know that the back plate for Intel was it in. Do i need to goto Corsair and request the part or is it a generic part?
 
What dont Samsung make anymore lol. Looks like a nice product and still leaves me with about 20 quid so will cover a new mouse mat i think aslong as there are no other suggestions on Mobo
