Hi folks. Well the annual upgrade bug has hit me early this year. I've been out of the loop for a while so I don't really know whats out or due to come out. Going by my sig is there anything I should upgrade or should I wait a bit? I've beeing considering a couple GTX 680s but I have fallen in love with my 580 Lightnings again, the things are tanks! I'm also looking at the new Intel boards. P67 seems to have been extremely short lived so maybe X79 or X77? Give me a hand folks. :) I have about £600-700 to spend.

Regards,
Ross
 
You have an i7 2600K at 4.8Ghz and you want to upgrade it? :confused: There isn't really anything much faster than that without paying silly money for a 6 core SB-E setup. And even that will only be quicker for specialised heavily threaded applications.

If you're that desperate to relieve yourself of some cash, then spend it on a nice top end case or monitor.

Be honest mate, you have pretty much the best system money can buy. Unless your running eyefinity, and even then, your rig will destroy anything in it's path.

What about peripherals? if you're into flight sims you can get a serious set up going for that money. Or buy one of those luxury gaming chairs. OR, go to 32gb or ram and deploy half of it as a RAMDisk?
