Hi lads I have the following rig and was wondering what I am best placed upgrading next? If it were your money where would you spend it on this machine?
I have been slowly getting premium parts for a while now as my budget allows and was wondering if it were your rig where you would go next. Its mostly used for gaming bf3 dota 2 fm2013 if I am honest but is also a worksation I do make a lot of vector files and cad files for my laser cutter mostly illustator, photoshop autocad and aps ethos on this machine they can be quite tasking but run much better now I have a SSD.
Case- cooler master stacker t101 aluminium full tower
PSU - corsair hx620 modular 620 watt
CPU - q6600 overclocked to 3.6ghtz on custom water cooling full copper block and 360mm black ice radiator mounted in front bays
Motherboard - asus rampage formula x48
Memory- corsair domminator 4gb ddr 2 at 450 x8 fsb
GPU -gigabyte windforce radeon 7950 3gb overclocked at 1100 core 1575 mem
Sound card - asus xonar d1
SSD - intel 520 128 gb
Hard Disks-1x western digital caviar black 1 tb and 1x 200gb samsung spinpoint f3
Optical drive- liteon dvd burner
Monitors-primary samsung 32 inch 1080p tv and secondary samsung 24 inch 1080p monitor
Keyboard - corsair k90 mechanical cherry switches
Mouse - Logitech G9 on razer exactmat with gel support
Game controller- razer onza xbox 360 pad
Speakers - 2.1 aego m
Headset - sennhesier pc360
The rig has served me so well. I have been holding off Motherboard and CPU change for a age but I am happy to stick it out till Haswell since I have waited this long anyway I tend to keep my CPU n Mobo for a long time.
I was thinking blu ray drive next maybe 2nd SSD but I am open to suggestions.
take a look always nice to see other opinions. Budget around 180 ish been told to use it as x mas present by the lady
