Ok, here is my current system taken from my spec me thread from about 15 or 16 months ago.
Bundle Specification
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.40GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD4 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Corsair A50 CPU Cooler
- Artic Silver 5 Thermal Compound.
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599)
Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced Dominator Case
OCZ Vertex 60GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - OEM
Sony Optiarc AD-7260S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
XFX 750W Black Edition Modular Power Supply
Dell Ultrasharp U2311H 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Midnight Grey
I am currently in the process speccing myself the ultimate PC. I wont be building this for at least another 6 months since I want to get the best possible components for the money and am willing to wait for sometime before purchasing the items I need. I would say my budget for the new system can easily strech to £2000 since I know that I did skimp on the above system and have wish for a while I spent that little bit more at the time.
So, OCuk and the people of GH what would you recommend I keep from the above system if anything or shall I spend the money upgrading what I have and use the cash for a decent 5.1 setup for the front room instead. Can I upgrade on the cheap? perhaps going crossfire? Over to you folks!.
