I'm looking a probably upgrading on a budget I've currently got about £200 flat and about £80 spare each month.
Current setup:
Novatech iRush Pro 2nd gen (2500k)
Intel Core i5 2500K Processor
2 x 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
2 x 500GB 6Gb/s Hard Drive
Novatech ATX Gaming Case
22x DVD Writer
4x blu Ray reader
Novatech Radeon 6770 1GB Graphics Card
Intel H67 Chipset Motherboard micro ATX LGA 1155 (1 PCIe)
22" led monitor (looking at grabbing a nice juicy 32" with excess)
I also produce music and I have an mBox 2 mini drawing power off the usb 3.0 as well as +40v phantom power on my mic
Main thoughts are:
upgrade psu to corsair 750 enthusiast 80+ bronze
Full ATX mobo with 2 PCIE slots for crossfire
New GPU: sapphire 7850/7870 OC or nvidia 660ti (I know would mean mobo change but still a thought)
Or possibly hunt down a second 6770 and crossfire with New mobo
Adding RAM bring up to 16/32gb
My main question is what would you recommend first, if any, to keep up with advancements in games etc. Also should I wait for other stuff first, just a general consensus.
As a footnote I work for CEX so I can find some bargain goodies to keep coats down
Sorry for long post but wanted to be thorough and not leave anything out,
Thanks and look forward to hearing off you soon :)
