Upgrading but to what!?!?

doitcom · 25 Jun 2013 at 08:57

Hi All,

December 2010 from OCUK i purchased a new machine pre-built by OCUK.

Order Ref: OC1149775 - "Titan 8000i Predator" Intel Core i3 2120 3.30GHz DDR3 Dual Core Gaming PC

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU & RAM so i can play BF3/BF4 in high/ultra if possible!!!

I just purchased 2 X GTX 660 2GB yesterday
(not the ti versions)

Any ideas please? I dont want to spend any more then £400. I have 4GB ram already

I've asked OCUK for the full spec of the PC I purchased.

I bought the GTX 660's for £126 each so not sure if buying a single card would benefit after saving around £80

Ok just found out my Motherboard isn't SLI compatiable due to Gigabyte not paying a fee for SLI???

Can anyone recommend a new motherboard, CPU, RAM cooling please? or just the above?
