Current system is

2500k
Asus mobo p87 I think lol
4GB ram
Win 7 64bit
Psu mod extreme 600
Gts 250

I would like to upgrade the GPU and PSU

I am looking at around the £200 Mark.

I would like to run world of tanks on the highest settings.

My gts 250 is doing a great job, running at med settings and getting around the 62fps with v sync locked on

I think my budget is not enough.

In my eyes I am looking at £200 for GPU and £100 psu?

If I don't have enough money then let me know.

I plan to give up console gaming and sell my 360 and equipment.

The psu is around 2 years old. And has been stress free for 22 months. I have only been gaming for around a month or so.

So come at me bro :)
 
Oh dear lol. Hmmmm lol.

Don't know what todo now.

The graphics do look great on med settings. Then even looked fab on low lol.

Maybe I should try and get a bit more cash. As I don't want to upgrade it now, if I could hVe put another 50£ and got something a lot better :(
 
Well I got thinking bud.

Apart from my psu and DVD rw lol.

This system is all NEW.

New case,fans,mobo,cables,ram,CPU,cooler.

So it just seems logical to buy a new GPU and then I only have a DVD rw which is 2 years old and a psu which is two years old.

Everything will at least have some warranty.

You would pick the fuggliest cars wouldn't you :(
 
So I take it none of the 560ti beat a 6950?

Just looks so horrid :( I know I don't sit looking at my GPU. But come on it been designed by some 8 year old lol :p

Is there a 6950 that comes in at the same performance but looks better :p
 
I want to buy new so I have a warranty.

Not happy now :( gonna go play some WOT and come back and have a look.

That 560ti looks disappointing in that review.

PLUS my mobo does CF.

so maybe I should be 100% be looking at 6950's

I hate making decisions.

Stulid let me send you £200 and you buy me one lol :p
 
Yeah but the invoice will be in someone else's name :S

Looking closely that fugly card is actually quite good bang for buck*

*That is based on the fact it has a higher core that most cards in the 6950 range, and i just guessed :p

This is probably a stupid question, but here goes. What is the advantages of a 1gb card compared to a 2gb card. As the 1gb seem to be just as expensive?
 
Come up with an another option :rolleyes:

That gpu is a lot cheaper than what i have been looking at!

This is a screen shot of a gtx460 1gb

So maybe i could get away with just that? And then maybe crossfire in the future.
