What would OcUK do?

Hi all, interested in your thoughts.

Let's say you had £300 to spend on this PC, how would you go? I've added my own thoughts, just wondering if you agree.

Intel 5820K - only real upgrade is to sell it for a 6800K, can't see a big improvement to be had.
Asrock X99E-ITX - best ITX board bar none, so no upgrade here.
32GB Crucial DDR4 Value (2x16) - Possible upgrade to a 3000+ MHz set, but would this really improve performance?
AMD RX480 4GB - a Fury Nitro would give 25-30% extra gaming performance so this is a possible path.
512GB Samsung 840 Evo - Possible upgrade to a 950 Pro, however would I actually see any big real world benefit?
Asetek 575LXL 240mm AIO - Only way forward here would really be custom water? And I would expect that to blow the budget hard.
NCase M1 - Love this case, don't wanna swap.
Silverstone SX600-G - The best SFX PSU. No upgrade here.
Dell U2713HM - Possible Freesync upgrade to a 1440p IPS screen? Would need research and would stretch the budget hard.
Aego M 2.1 - Possible upgrade to the new Aego3? No performance improvement, purely aural.

So yeah, i'm thinking a Fury Nitro and/or Freesync screen would be the way forward.

Just wondered really if there's anything obvious i'm missing.

Thanks in advance.

if thats what you own then only really need a freesync monitor otherwise gpu and monitor to suit.


or just sell the whole lot for better.

lmao worst case ever award.. you could buy and see if it works in the bath

Do you play a lot of games? If you do I'd keep the monitor and invest in a better graphics card. You can get a 980ti 6gb for 250 - 300 used.

I dunno but I'm guessing be happy with what you've got if it works

wouldnt say worst, but certainly could do with some colour.

I would sell your graphics card then buy a 1070 theyre on offer today.

My thinking around the Fury Nitro over the 980Ti or 1070 is thus:

If I want to upgrade monitor at any point, i'm going to have to pay £200+ for the same GSync model as if I went Freesync. Hence my preference to stay AMD at least until the GSync/Freesync wars are sorted.

Rational?
