Hey Everyone
I want to upgrade my Current PC that I've had for the last 3 years coming up on to its forth
Now my current spec if as followed:
Intel i7 2700k @ 4.9ghz (1.45v and stable, only around 35 degrees idle)
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Motherboard
16GB DDR3 @ 2133mhz (G.Skill Ripjaws)
GTX 570 1279MB Graphics (Palit)
240GB OCZ Vertex4 SSD (OS)
640GB WDC Sata (Storage Drive)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion
In addition to this i have a 850Watts Corsair TX series PSU (NON mondular)
Build i Want to get:
Intel i7 4790k @ 5ghz + hopefully
ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer Motherboard
R9 280x Graphics - only wish to game in 1080p/3D and the 290x apparently doesn't have that great an edge of 1080p performance (Build for 2k and 4k gaming).
OCZ ZX Series 850W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold High Performance Power Supply.
Keep all the other parts as they are, newly added mostly. The SSD and HDD are good enough for now and have a bit of time left on them as well as space, the RAM is fast enough and rated quite good still, and sound card is very good quality so i will be keeping that as well.
I mainly want a better GPU, a motherboard and CPU that supports PCI-E 3.0 (but not necessary to begin with as i might stick to my current CPU for a while longer)
The only other requirement with wanting a new GPU is, is it likely i will need a new PSU due to the fact my current one is rated as bronze 80PLUS performance and have had the PSU for at least 3 years?
But like the title says any advice on what to get instead of what i've listed is very helpful, especially in terms of PSU's not too great with them and maybe graphic card if you can suggest a better one for 1080p/3D gaming.
