Upgrading my asus p5n-e sli

[mentorima]

Hi guys,

Upgrading my 5-6 year old PC. Have an asus p5n-e sli which my mate referenced as ancient compared to his. Been out the upgrading business for a while and pretty much out of sync with what is out there.

Want to get something which has a nice bite into current games without blowing my wallet apart.

Budget of £400-500 to get mobo, chip, gfx and ram.

Thanks in advance

gigabyte g1 sniper/4770k/8gb teamgroup memory?

if you wanna stay asus maybe the z87 gryphon?

 

[mentorima]

I'm willing to experiment with different mobos.

Is that a relatively good setup?

 

[wazza300]

yeah bout the best cpu/memory/board for your money (im trying to keep it cheap as poss with decent spec)

the teamgroup is 2400mhz

Thanks dude, gives me something to research tonight.

 

[ShivP]

Yeah, I'd do what wazza said - I had the same system as you, a P5NE-SLI with a Q6600 - never broke one bit, what a tank Upgraded to the system in my sig though, you could even (if you wanted) drop to a 4670k with a better gpu

 

[mentorima]

Yes shivy, I would agree it was a tank and has proved very faithful over the years. Only reason I'm upgrading is for something a bit beastier.

This is my current case and PSU. Additionally will i require a new PSU too?

 

[wazza300]

you should be ok with that psu

 

[ASUS|Mr_Orange]

Normally I'd advise to get a slightly more reputable PSU, but if it's lasted this long then it's probably proven itself to be decent.
