Hey all.
I'm currently on an i5 570, geforce 470.
I have three options (I think):-
Upgrade gpu to a 680 or maybe whatever else is out in the next couple of months.
Upgrade cpu, motherboard and ram to ivybridge (i5 3570k) and overclock. Prebundled OCUK bundle most likely.
Or both .
The second option is probably pointless, considering it's for gaming. I'm interested in mmos mainly, swtor, gw2, possibly Tera. I like everything on full and looking nice at 1920x1080.
It may be pointless as well to upgrade my cpu? Sure my current cpu could bottleneck a new gpu but overclocking will sort that?
I'm also thinking a new case since this case is from '05 and I want something neat and sleek. I don't like these cases brimming with LEDs, therefore I am thinking perhaps the corsair 500R, 550D, or fractal R3 (from my reading of the forums). I also add I like quietness , so maybe some extra quiet fans to go in/replace what's in there.
I think my current PSU will be okay, can't remember the brand, possibly corsair, but it's a good brand and I think it's 600+ watts. I can always check when I can be bothered!
Thank you!
