Hi,

Can you list everything you have,

PSU make+model.
Drives are they SATA or IDE?
What case do you have.
How much RAM do you have?

What do you use this PC for? what budget do you have?

Had a look at those ICT 600s. There are different models, some with 25 Amps, some with 50 Amps, which would determine which GPU you could get. Also couldn't find any info on what the 12v rail/s deliver/s, which is essential. They are EOL (End Of Life) now and might be best to get a new PSU unless someone familiar with them can vouch for you continuing with it.

Your motherboard is uATX (basically same as mATX). Is your case mATX or ATX? If you're not sure, state the model, or count the PCI expansion slots round the back.

sor it was a cic 6800ub power supply it got 7 pci slots at back thanks

That'd be an ATX then.

Here's something to get ideas going:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-SLI - Devils Canyon Core i5 4690K Bundle **£12 Saving** £269.98
1 x MSI Radeon R9 280X Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £169.99
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £86.99
1 x Antec TruePower Classic 750w '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply £72.95
Total : £609.50 (includes shipping : £8.00).

And keep your case, RAM, OS (put this onto the new SSD + programs and some games) and HDD (for pics/movies etc storage that don't require speed).

The 750W PSU will handle 2 x 280Xs.

Yes, may want to upgrade GPU in two years or so if you find it begins to struggle with the games you are playing by then (or add a second 280X which'll be even cheaper by then), but CPU I wouldn't change for 4/5 years.
