OH COME ON!
I go and start thinking of buying this new PC and then Dad tells me to just upgrade the one I have,
Waste of time putting that system together.
Anyways, I want to start playing more games. Dying Light, maybe some more shooters, get into modding more, the stuff. So I have an upgrade list.
Dad has dual 970s in SLI in his computer. He said he'd get me one when I upgrade the power supply. Since the GTX 970 REQUIRES a 500W power supply or more, I used Cooler Master's wattage calculator. 508 watts. So I looked at a new PSU.
First question: Is the Corsair TX650M a good PSU to upgrade to?
Second question: Should I sell the prehistoric GTX 460 in my system for maybe 50-100 USD so that I can get a new PSU, or just store it somewhere (like near the new RAM I got for my first build that I made myself, 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 RAM) in case I ever need it or just for bragging rights?
Third question: Planning to get a PCIe SSD. Would I be able to fit it on my motherboard?
Fourth: Should I get an Antec 900 or something like that? Must be ATX. 80MM fans are noticeably loud and that's what my current PC uses. So should I get a better case? One that doesn't use prehistoric 80MM fans for almost everything?
CPU: Intel Core i5 760
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460
RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1066 or 1600 (used to be 16GB but a stick stopped working)
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E LX
PSU: Rocketfish RF-500W PS2
HDD: Seagate 250GB SATA 6GB/S
HDD2: Samsung 160GB SATA 6GB/S
Those are my currents.
Don't plan to upgrade to an i7, so don't even ask. Never was a fan of the i7 anyways; the things I do would make it a $50-$100 piece of equipment that won't improve performance much for me, and that $50-$100 could've been spent on better things.
