Where is my computer weak?

[Tyminski]

Hello everyone and thankyou for taking the time to read my thread. I'm looking for help with a small range of questions and i'm hoping that you can help.

My Computer is a number of years old, and i'm beginning to feel the burn as a rather hardcore gamer, as i'm trying to get as much quality as I can from my system.

I've got about £250 to spend and need advice on where best to spend it for my system. The I5 2500k has been on my mind though I myself am not as adept into hardware than most of you.

You can find my Dxdiag here.

Also, what good advice can be given on making a watercooling system? Can Overclockers implement the system for you at a charge?

Thankyou all so much for your help,
Tyminski

Hi Orcvader, thankyou for the fast response.

I'm running a Sapphire 5850.

Is there an area in my PC where I can get more information you require?

 

[Tyminski]

Give us a detailed spec instead of dxdiag.

The i5 is probably the only way to go just looking at what is given.

OCUK offer pre watercooled cases and watercooling kits if you want to fit it into your current case.

Hi there Rik,

Do you know where i'm able to find you more detailed information?

Thanks

Ok, thankyou for showing me to CPU-Z. Report here.

Also: If you could be so kind as to link me to the most reasonable item it would be deeply appreciated.

Yeah, definately i5 upgrade.

Im not sure if you'll be able to get a decent i5 set up for £250 though.
Will you be getting a SSD anytime soon, or any likelyhood of having to use onboard graphics?

I've considered an SSD to help with my games, what would you store on your SSD?

And i'm confused as to onboard graphics, what exactly is this?

Get it a gym membership...

Thankyou all so much for your fantastic support in such a short space of time.

I deeply appreciate it everyone, unless anyone has more to add this is now over.

Thankyou,
