Hello. I'm planning to replace my old PC with new system as I have not upgraded it in last 2 years and it's starting to slow down a bit. Recently I've had a problem with GPU overheating and my machine would restart after playing a game for few hours - I've been plying Dying Light in 2560x1600 with all options on max.
I live at the moment in UK and I'm planning to buy a new rig in second half of March.
Here are my current specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz (overclocked)
MB: EVGA X58 SLI Classified
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 FTW (overclocked)
RAM: Corsair Dominator, DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), CAS 9-9-9-24
HDD: 1 TB Western Digital 1TB VelociRaptor + WD WD40EFRX-68WT0N0 4TB
PSU: Cooler Master Real Power Pro1000 RS-A00-EMBA 1000W
Cooling: Antec Kuhler h2o 920
Case: CM Stacker 830 NVIDIA Edition
Monitor: Dell 3008WFP (2560x1600@60Hz)
Here is what I'm thinking of getting:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K (overclocked to 4.4 GHz)
MB: EVGA FTW Z97
GPU: EVGA GTX 980 FTW
RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Red, PC4-21300 (2666) Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 15-17-17-35, XMP 2.0, 1.2V
HDD: I'm keeping the existing HDDs, not 100% sure about upgrade to SSD
PSU: Corsair HX1000i 1000W OR EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 80+ GOLD 1000W
Cooling: Corsair Hydro H100i GTX 240mm CPU Cooler
Case: Coolermaster Stormtrooper Full Tower
So what do you think?
