A Possible 2019 Upgrade - RobCharles1981 - 02-01-2019 Hi all this is my current set up: Intel Core i5 3570K. Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard Noctua NH-U12PSE2 Corsair XMS3 8 Gig DDR3 Memory Corsair TX 750m PSU, XFX R9 390: Asus Xonor D1 Sound Card: Coolermaster 690ii Advanced Now I'm looking for ideas on what I can do for an upgrade I do all round gaming and I do allot of video editing too and I've built this set up about 4-5 years now so Its time to consider my options. I'm looking at upgrading my memory to something like this: https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/kingston-hyperx-fury-black-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-pc3-14900-1866mhz-dual-channel-kit/hx318c10fbk28.html Graphics card: https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/pny-geforce-gtx-1060-xlr8-oc-gaming-6gb-graphics-card-retail/kf1060gtxxg6gepb.html CPU Water Cooling To this: https://www.ebuyer.com/410726-corsair-hydro-series-h55-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060010-ww Or should I put my eggs in basket and go over to AMD Ryzen or somewhere along those lines? Any help would be great! Cheers Rob RE: A Possible 2019 Upgrade - Compton - 02-02-2019 one important question what is budget RE: A Possible 2019 Upgrade - Timster - 02-02-2019 I would ditch the water cooling and put that money towards 16gigs of ram RE: A Possible 2019 Upgrade - RobCharles1981 - 02-02-2019 Hi All thanks for the input: Around 300-400 at the most, I plan to sell my old bits to make way for a better video card: I've had a look on the usual sites this idea is from Novatech: MSI B450 Gaming Plus AMD AM4 B450 Chipset ATX Motherboard AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler Corsair Hydro Series™ H60 (2018) 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-14900 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit This comes to £375 Your thoughts? RE: A Possible 2019 Upgrade - cw2879 - 02-03-2019 I did this 18 months ago and a few items which aren't on your list Used a spare PCI slot to make a new USB 3.0 interface at the rear Changed the mechanical drive to an SSD RE: A Possible 2019 Upgrade - Compton - 02-05-2019 I go with the AMD build if you are on a budget because you will more for the money like timster said take it to 16GB memory |
