Hi all,
I use my computer just for gaming and I'm getting to the point where it isn't running new games very well. I've had the computer for a few years and the only things I have upgraded in the past few years is the gpu and the psu.
I would just like some advice whether it would be better to start a brand new build or to just upgrade the GPU and HD?
This is my current rig:
i5-3570k @ 3.8
Gtx 770
Corsair cs750m PSU
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 ram 2 x 8GB
I have a an Asus mobo but not sure of the model?
1tb HDD
I'm thinking a gtx 1070 and a Samsung evo 850 500gb ssd as upgrades or this as a new build:
i5-7600k
Msi gaming x Gtx 1070
G.skill ripjaw v series 16gb DDR4 ram
Maybe a new case
Use the same PSU
Msi z270 gaming pro carbon
Without a case this is around £900
The other thing is its making a kind of whining noise that comes and goes in a kind of rhythm, if that makes sense. Could that be the case fans or something worse? It's been doing it for a long time now.
Any help would be much appreciated I've never build a rig from scratch before!
