Upgrading My PC (HELP ME)

[TeamSignal]

I need help checking everything is compatible in my PC upgrade. I am open to any different ideas regarding the components.

PC Upgrade Components -

CPU - Intel i5 3570k
Mother Board - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155
RAM - 16GB 1600mhz
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 760 (2 way SLI)
PSU - Undecided (Need help finding one suitable)

Monitors - 2x LG IPS234 23" running at 1080p

Do this all sound ok or is there some parts i should change?

And y es all parts are compatible. SHould be a very sick build bro!

Everything is good. But you won't need 2 GTX 760 to max out most games at 1080p. A single one would be enough.

Or you could drop both and get a GTX 770/780. A single card high end card is better than 2 mid range one in SLI. There will be less heat, power consumption and no compatibility issues.


As for the PSU, around 600W will be enough (if you go ahead with the 2 GTX 760, a 750W will be necessary). A Seasonic M12II, an Antec HCG-620M (same thing as the Seasonic) or a Corsair TX650M will be good enough.

Yes i already have the monitors. Budget is varied. I wanna spent around £300-£400 on the GPU and preferably under £100 for the PSU.

I was thinking of going for a single 770 but im unsure. Ill use the computer for extreme gaming, recording and video editing/rendering.

go with a 770 because it leaves an option to add another in the future, 2x770 is better by far than 2x760

Looking over at my case i think the GPUs will be too cramped and restrict airflow so i may have to go for the 770.

They'll almost touch the bottom of the case since its a pretty cheap.

 

[jinayhvora]

yes, i added a 4GB card and an 850W PSU considering u will be adding another card in the future, if u don't wanna do that u can drop to 650W from Corsair (Excpt CX Series), Antec, Seasonic, XFX
also the card u fund is fine but the GB one has the highest OC and quite a decent cooler, if u're gonna add another card better go with 4GB cards (either MSI or GB or whatever u're fine with, thy're all more or less the same)
