Upgrade or new system.

What kind of games would you like to play on your new PC? I am still running a i7 920 and with 2 GTX 680s in SLI there is no game that I cannot max at 2560x1440. The most demanding game I own is BF3 btw before someone flames me for that last comment.

Trust me when I say that your best upgrade options without spending a lot of money are (a) an SSD for overall general use and loading of apps and (b) a new Graphics card, esp. if you are at 1080p, in which case you will get a massive performance boost by going for the higher end offerings from Nvidia and AMD. If a Single Card, I would recommend the 7970 with the Never Settle Bundle.

Either of the above 2 options will make you a very happy man imo. The 920 is still a great CPU - check this recent and active thread if you don't believe me: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18501282&highlight=920

thanks for the reply random guy. If I was to upgrade I think I would be as well getting anew case ,could struggle getting 1of the new cards in so could you spec some bits to add to what I've got. ie ssd, GPU, case ,like I said in my previous post would it be a god idea to go with liquid cooling for the CPU in case I go for over clocking in the future?.

just like to say I've had a lot of good advice from idleman in previous posts which I am grateful for but I'm open to advice from all...it all helps I can assure you...BTW I play bf3 ,wars , arma2 wasteland and so on.
