Hi All
I'm looking for some advice on whether to upgrade my current system or invest in a new prebuilt system. I could build a new system if the cost saving is worth it.
My current system is:
CPU: Intel i5-4690k
GPU: ASUS AMD R9 290 4GB
Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 120GB (boot drive) and Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB
RAM: G.SKILL RipjawsX DDR3 1866 C9 2x4GB
PSU: 550w
I would also like to change the case and from a quick look online it seems that this is as labour-intensive as a whole new build.
My budget for a new system is £1,000-£1,500.
My main use is for gaming - as long as I can play highest settings at 1080p with a decent framerate on all recent titles, then I'm happy. Anything better is a bonus for my budget. I also have more general use, e.g. for studying, etc, but I haven't had any problems with my current system for this.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
