upgrade itch

[ghummy]

Hi people, i have recently have had the upgrade itch but i cant find any sensible reasons to do so, so basically looking for either a plain and simple "yes upgrade because of ........"

or

"leave it as it is because......"

current specs are:

maximus v forumla
i7 3770k @ 4.3ghz
8gb team group 2133mhs ram
sandisk ultra ssd 120gb
1tb seagate hdd
gtx 670 x 2 (sli)
ocz 850w 80+gold psu


i mainly use the rig for gaming and at present it runs everything i can throw at it at ultra settings, bf4 gives me over 100fps average, metro close to 60 etc.

my main reason for upgrading was i like the look and thought of having a 780ti but i understand that my sli setup comes very close to this. having a sli 780ti is out of question from a money perspective.

so my main question is, will me rig serve me well for some time yet, or will i see some real benefits from upgrading either the entire system or parts of it anyway

thanks for the advice

I'm in the same boat, i7 with SLI 680's. I have the same itch!

Are your 670's 2gb versions? Are you set on nvidia or would you switch to amd?

Yea they are. I game at only 1080p and yet haven't come across anything that has limited vram. Maybe skyrim now and again but I have like over a 100mods.

I am set on nvidia. Not a fanboy but had trouble with amd in the past and it only takes the one time to put you off completly.


Jac3 thanks for that. All I needed to hear. It's something that I will pay stupid money on for now reason but just needed to satisfy myself.

I may splash on the nzxt h440 when it comes out. I do like the clean look of it and love the fact you can't see the psu in the side panel.

Thanks all. That has satisfied my itch.

I think at present my money is better spent on making the rig look good. The cm 690ii nvidia edition does nothing to make it look good. Like said. I think I'm going to get the h440 and go with a red and black theme in keeping with the rog theme. So just need to get the case and some pre braided atx and PCI-e cables.

What monitor do you have amigo? If 24" then you could go with a 27"

I'm using 40inch samsung led tv. I know I know. When I built the rig I temporarily connected it to that to get it going. I primarily use the computer for watching movies and playing games and when I play games it's from around 8 feet away on my comfy chesterfield.

As I'm never sitting up close I couldn't justify spending on a monitor. I havnt noticed any input lag or any pixelated issues.
