Hey guys,
My current specs are listed to the left, I want as good an upgrade as I can get without having to replace everything. Since my current CPU is the bottleneck, I think upgrading the main parts (motherboard, CPU, RAM and GPU) are essential and I'm wondering if they would work well with other components, mainly the PSU.
Asus P8P67 Pro Rev3 Intel P67 Express Socket 1155 Motherboard - £150.80
Intel CPU Core i5 2500K Unlocked Sandy Bridge Quad Core Processor - £165.78
Corsair Memory Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 8 XMP Dual Channel Desktop Sandybridge Ready - £95.76
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB NVIDIA Graphics Card - £199.87
Those are the items I'm looking at, can anyone see any bottleneck there? Do you think my Corsair 450W 450HXUK PSU will cope with this lot as well as my drives? Also, is that the best version of the Asus P8P67? I did compare them all, and it looks the best.
Also just noticed, 3 out of the 4 items above are on the Scan TO offers, yet I won't have the money for them until the end of the month, damn!
Oh, and I'll probably need a bigger monitor as well to display the glorious output from this system, I wouldn't want it bigger about 24" but a native resolution of 1080p would be nice, any ideas? I guess a budget might be a good idea, say absolute max of £800?
Anyway, cheers in advance for the help.
Allen
