The build I am currently working with:
i5 4690k 3.5Ghz - Cooled with a Hyper 212 Evo (No OC)
MSI GTX 970 4gb (Included in the system budget)
Corsair VS 650w PSU- Definitely going.
Gigabyte GA-Z9ZP-D3 (I think) Motherboard.
8gb DDR3 RAM.
Corsair Carbide Spec 01 mid tower case.
120Gb SSD for my OS
1TB HDD for mass storage
Budget for upgrading my system: £660 roughly.
* In regards to the budget the only components pre-owned value that has been added is a selling price of £100 for my 970.
*The upgrades can include anything within the system, my main concern at the moment is the vast approaching obselete future of the humble quad core when DX12 becomes more mainstream.
Does anyone have an opinion on what parts need to go?
In my personal opinion the GPU and the PSU are going to get a change, but what about the rest?
Uses for my PC dont stem into any editing/rendering. This build has always been for gaming. In addition to that I am not looking into doing any SLI or multi-gpu configurations. I play games on one single monitor in 1080p. I feel alot of people on Toms forget to specify more about needs to help possible solutions forming, so I will below attach some information to help fellow users gauge a better idea of what I am looking for.
* My monitor is a single 1080p panel with a 60hz refresh rate.
* I enjoy my games being above 60fps with a smooth feeling.
*I do enjoy eye candy, I suppose you could call me a FXAA kind of guy. Not too extreme, but I do enjoy smooth edges.
* I enjoy running the latest titles 60fps/Very high/Ultra @1080p
Cheers.
