Hello everyone,
I'm currently unsure as to upgrade or start a fresh build ?
I will explain about my current rig before listing the full ugradge/new build specs. My rig is mostly used for gaming, streaming and the occasional photoshop project, anything else if the mood takes me.
My current rig was purchased from a local pc store about a year n half ago, it came as the spec in my signature but was running at 4.1 ghz.
( crazy if you think it was running on a stock cooler dont you think ? ) I updated the bios a few times since then and now keep it running at its turbo defaults. The native res of my monitor is 1920x1080p so dont need to go for sli or crossfire i dont think ?
Enough about my setup atm, time for new build specs.
New build spec's
Intel Core i7-4770K
Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H
Corsair H100i
MSI Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition 2048MB
Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 8GB (2x4GB) 2133MHz
Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 120GB
BitFenix Ghost Silent Tower Case - Black
BitFenix Alchemy Premium Modding LED Strip - X2 Red
I will be using the Corsair GS700 psu i have currently in the new build to keep costs down a little as i am currently on a limited funds.
Upgrade Spec
i5 3570k,
New Gigabyte / MSI Z77 mobo ( Cant decide on one yet )
Corsair H100i
2133Mhz Ram, (Again depends on the mobo colour scheme)
GTX 770 GPU, ( model depends on colour scheme )
Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 120 GB
BitFenix Ghost Silent Tower Case - Black
BitFenix Alchemy Premium Modding LED Strip - X2 ( Colour TBC )
Most will probably say why worry about a colour scheme if you cant see inside, well im living in hope that a custom window will appear like it did for the nanoxia deep silence. Even if that never happens, i would still like it to look pleasing to the eye if i have to remove the side panel for whatever reason.
Any suggestions or feedback will be happily welcomed.
Thank you, Savage Edge
