[Domestic_Ginger]

I suggest you post your current system specs. It will be very difficult to recommend an upgrade if we are unaware of what you currently have.

What is 3xscyclone?

I don't think anyone will know where to start with the information you have just shared.

[Jay]

I think its a Scan build

[Terbinator]

Aye, some details about the build would be helpful mate.

does that help

[pot24uk]

???????????????????????????????????????????

[jackvdbuk]

give people a chance, relax, check tomorow.

why do you want to upgrade? whats lagging for you? by no means is that a slow system.

also that spec makes no sense atall.

[Terbinator]

Why is there a 480 and a 570?

If that's your system now and you have either of the the above cards then there is abslutely no need to upgrade, IMO.

[Domestic_Ginger]

You have another year warranty left you will invalidate by upgrading?

Any replacements will need to be watercooled?

[pot24uk]

am gunna go with scan for the upgrade so they will giv me warranty still

but i want 2 no what i can make better on on my system

cos am not that gud on um apart from games lol

[dfour]

No need to upgrade anything in there. Nothing should lag your system game wise. be happy with what you have there some people would kill for your watercooled system.

[Pob255]

I'm guessing from that slightly incoherent mass of stuff that he's got a water cooled gtx570
i7 socket1366 CPU which seem to be cooled by a akasa Venom ultra with two Apache fans in push pull.

So what's the problem? why do you want to upgrade? there's nothing wrong with that system it's pretty top of the line as is.

[jim]

You have £1k to upgrade that machine?

It would seem that you're a very lucky person

[george1979]

As far as I recall from when I was looking at a pre-built last year the 3xs Cyclone has a watercooled Oc'd gtx 480.

I can't see a need to upgrade this but each to their own

Also - and I'm not sure of this - but it might be a wee bit of a pain to remove that card. Also not sure if you can add a 2nd one of these cards to the loop. Might be easier to sell it and get one of the dual core cards that are coming soon.

Unless you are gaming at very high resolution then I think the only real benefit you will get will be the bragging rights as your current set up will handle almost anything at 1080p.

If it was me I'd spend the money on a really nice desk, chair and maybe a surround sound system? Or maybe a new case? Damn I wish I had a grand to spend right now! Jealous!
