Hey all, I posted earlier asking whether I could upgrade my geriatric system (posted below) but from the responses it seemed best that I dive into a new build instead. I'm on a bit of a budget with this so I'm hoping to use as much of what I have as possible (storage, RAM, case, etc)
Current Build:
CPU: Intel core i7-2600k @3.40GHz
RAM: 8GB
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 580
Board: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO GEN3
PSU: Antec HCG-750W
Approximate Purchase Date: within the next month
Budget Range: $1000CAD (~800USD)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3d modelling work (Marvelous Designer, Unreal/Unity engines), gaming (I don't need to play the latest games on max or anything like that, just comfortable enough on recommended settings)
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitors, peripherals etc. If I can save some dough by reusing any if not all of the following: PSU: Antec HCG-750W, RAM: 2x4GB, Case: Cooler Master HAF922 that would be awesome. I'm also pretty set on the hard drive front already
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: none, just decent enough quality!
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Likely not
Additional Comments: Not too picky, as long as it gets the job done! That said if this can be done without maxing out my budget that would be fantastic, but I'd rather still have something that I can use for work for a few years without needing to upgrade constantly. If my budget is unrealistic, I'm open to a number that might work as well. Thanks in advance!
