Well I am looking to upgrade some of my components of my 2500K based system. So the components that I am looking to upgrade are, GPU, PSU, CPU COOLER.
1. GPU - GPU that is within my budget and which I have selected are GTX 960 4gig and R9 380. So which will be better? Or any other suggestion is most welcome. Note- I have always been an Nvidia user, so no experience with the Red side, so if any AMD suggestion then please guide me a bit in the AMD matters.
2. PSU- Currently my system is running really well on a Cooler master 500W Thunder PSU, well this was the best in my budget when I was building my system back then. So looking forward to change it for later upgrades or nee system down the line and some overclocking too. So please suggest some good PSU.
3. CPU COOLER- Well back then when I had built my system towards the end of 2011. Then I had very less experience in the pc hardware scene, so I went with the supplied air cooler with the i5-2500K. As I did not overclock it and used the system for light gaming and work so that air cooler suffised my needs and temps were good. Now after all these years the cooler has gone weak and some serious dust has settled on the fins of the heat sink, so its high time I change it coz I just love this processor and want to use to more by overclocking it so comes the need for a after market cooling solution. My main confusion is taking the decision between a air cooled solution or go for AIO Liquid solution. So which will be better air or liquid? I know both have plus and minuses but still which will have a bit of edge in performance specially while overclocking.
Budget- My budget for the GPU is 18500 INR, 5000 INR for PSU, 6000 INR for CPU COOLER.
current exchange rate- $1 = 67.58 INR.
So please help me make the right choice. Thank you.
