Hi guys!

I've had this pc for 4 years now. Bought from overclockers. Was the Titan 8800i Photon.

Looking to see if theres much point in upgrading.

I got gigabyte z77x-d3h mobo
intel i5 3570k cpu
gtx 670
16gig of ram

The comp did come with a overclock of 4.4 but it kept blue screening and im pretty clueless when it comes to pc stuff, I know a little but not much!

Worth upgrading? Any suggestions?
 
Is it still overclocked now? If not, might be worth replacing the CPU cooler and overclocking again. An OC'd 3570k is not far behind any current i5 in games.

If you are a gamer then it's worth replacing the graphics card.

An SSD if you don't already have one is a great upgrade to any PC. What do you use the computer for?
 
Sorry I should have said. Once I bought it and the overclock kept blue screening I just turned the custom setting off in bios. I wasn't too fussed about overclocking anyways. I had a few problems and delays when I ordered my pc and it arrived with a broken overclock so it kinda put me off overclocking ever again.

I do have a SSD already but would love another one, something a little bigger what I have now. Im guessing I could have 2 SSD ?
My cpu temps rarely hit over 50c

I game all the time.. primal / wow / creed / division / battlefront

I'm fairly confident in putting a new gfx card in but adding another ssu..? How difficult is this :p

Suggestions on a gfx / ssu?

I think my psu is 600-700 so power would be fine?

thanks for the replys!
 
The OCUK archive implies the PSU is PC Power & Cooling, so should be reasonable.

You can add more SSDs OP if you have the space in your case. Depending on what you want to store on it, it's not that difficult at all.

As for a GPU that depends on your budget and what resolution you game at. nVidia's GTX 970 and AMD's 390/390X are all well regarded at their respective price points. Both companies will be launching new cards at some point this year which may well be worth waiting for. Having said that, moving from your current GTX 670 to a 970/390/X would still be a very worthwhile upgrade.
