Hey everyone, I am looking for some advice on upgrading my current pc build (CPU,RAM,MOBO) any help is appreciated !
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: I would like 2 buy straight away although willing to wait until intel release their new cpus on the 21st august if its worth it.
Budget Range: I think £550 pounds is my limit
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies and the ability to stream some gameplay would be nice
Are you buying a monitor: No, I already have a BenQ xl2430T 144hz
Parts to Upgrade: I'm looking to upgrade my current build (CPU, motherboard and RAM).
Do you need to buy OS: No, I have windows 10 already.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any
Location: UK
Parts Preferences: Any
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm having trouble running games at a decent FPS.
CURRENT PC
CPU: Intel i7-920 Processor 2.67GHz (Overclocked to 4.3GHz)
CPU cooler: Cooler Master - Nepton 240M 76.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo: ASUS P6X58D-E
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600mhz

PSU: Antec true power 750w

The upgrade I'm looking at getting
