Would i be better of starting a fresh new system?

[FatFishMonster]

hi all
was planning a move to SB, but then the idea of a whole new system poped into my head.


my current system is:
Athlon X4 @ 3.55
Asus M5A97 PRO 970G
Xfx 6870
8 GB corsair xms3 1333mhz
WD caviar blue 500Gb and 250GB
arctic power 750w PSU
Casecom k3-988 with a window mod


the system i put togther is:
i5 2500k
MSI Z68A-G45-G3 motherboard
Ati 6950
Coolermaster haf X
16GB corsair vengance
Xfx PRO 750w
Crucial m4 64GB
Segate barrucada 1TB
Akasa Venom

this system adds up to just under £1000

but can people shed light on if this would be a wise move ? or am i just wanting the whole new system thing?

and also how much would i currently get for my current system if anybody knows?

Ask in MM for a price on your current system.

i dont have access due to amount of posts.......

the money i get from my system would pay for the newer one as i am on a student budget so :/

i really dont know if its a worth while decsion though.... i would a massive boost in performance i know.

Are you considering the 6950 2GB? I would over the 1GB.

i was going for a 2GB one.

I look at your rig and think,

Better more trust worthy PSU.

Phenom 955BE etc and a faster GPU.

Maybe a nice case and SSD

i want to move away from AMD due to the BD being a flop.

it just seemed like if i created a new system:
- i would get all the upgrades i want at one time and be very future proof
- the benefit of a new system
- an excuse to build

i just spend months waiting for the next best thing from AMD ! haha

is my psu really that bad.

i know i need a SSD and case.

just made sense to me to get all my upgrades at once ! haha

think i may just go with your advice.
a new case ( a haf X )
a new psu
a SSD

and then maybe pick up a second phenom II X4 ? till i hear about the new stuff from Intel and Amd both cpu and gpu

does that sound like its a good idea?
