Upgrading a few bits! Need Opinions!

Hey everyone!

So I've finally decided to upgrade a few bits of my rig due to my ASUS 670 dying on me... Ever since the NZXT H440 has come out I have fallen in love with it. I currently have the Corsair H600T in white and I am wanting something a little different.

Due to NZXT releasing a few different colours of the H440 I can't decied on what one to get and wondered if some people could tell me there thoughts on colours. My current rig has a lot of blue and black in it. So really not sure! Here are some pics of the colour rigs:

Red

All of them I like, but really not sure! I'm more swayed towards the Blue or maybe even the white one.

Also due to my ASUS 670 dying, I'm really not sure on what card/cards to buy. I was thinking of maybe buying two 680s and SLI them or maybe even a 780ti. Since I really would like the EVGA 980 Super clocked but just can't justify the £500 on the card at the moment. What are you thinking would be my best bet??

And Finally, I currently have a 60gb Kingston SSD, that is for my boot, but its really not enough, Since im constantly having to clear my temp folders and such due to it filling up! I have a 2TB seagate HDD for storage and all that good stuff and everything is redirected to the HDD rather than any normal files going on the SSD. So I was thinking maybe getting a 120gb or a 240gb SSD, but I want decent Read and Writes so its nice a quick still! What do you all think??

Thanks In advance!

Ben.
 
I mean really, I don't really have one... I just don't want to spend loads due to getting a new car!

Ok, so we'll go with £400 in total then :p.

As I posted above, you can get some decent upgrades for that amount of cash. What are the rest of your specs?
 
Current Specs are;

i7 2700k @4.5ghz On stock cooler (JK ;) Water cooled)
16gb Ram @ 1600mhz
ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe
60GB kingston SSD for boot
2TB seagate 7200rpm for storage
Corsair HX 1050 PSU
Graphics card was a ASUS 670...
Case is a Corsair 600T White with window

-----------------

Im sorta tempted to buy a 780ti second hand but don't know a good price to look for, nor where to get one from... Been a member on here for 2 years yet haven't even posted 100 times so dont have access to the buy/sell part of the forum!

Just thought I'll add, I can get VAT off!

Hmm, yeah that's what I was thinking! Could you tell me if there are 780tis currently going on the forum? If not I might invest in a 970!

No I won't.
Sorry, I'm pretty sure that'd be breaking the rules.


As someone who owns a 780Ti, I'd say get a 970 anyway as its faster and that extra vram is becoming much more needed. :) Its faster then the Ti for the most part too! Unless you can get it new for £250 or upgrading for SLI, you shouldn't look at the Ti unless you find a cracking deal.
