Re: Looking at upgrading, advice would be much appreciated :)

what size psu do you have atm?

I would just add in a z77 board,a single 7950 and maybe 8gb of 1600mhz ram,then overclock the cpu to 4.5ghz

It's a novatech 500 watt PSU, nearest link being:

Novatech PowerStation Gaming 500W Silent ATX2 Modular Power Supply | NOV-PSG500

I've spread this thread across this and "Tom's Hardware" as I'm mainly looking for advice on what I should do,

I'm kind of leaning towards both upgrading my GPU's to the sapphire 7850/70's oc editions and crossfiring them,

The PSU I've been recommended was the XFX 550 watt but i want your recommendations (This was before I mentioned about wanting to crossfire 2 GPU's btw),

Thanks for quick reply

ive used novatech's psu a lot in builds and they are fine,idk if 500w would be enough for xfire,maybe a 650w?


and idk which would be better two 7850's in xfire or a single 7950,less cards=less heat and xfire driver issues but its upto you

Cheers man,
Think I might save up and grab a single 7900 series when their prices start to drop, picked up a gigabyte Z77x d3h after looking at reviews, which will be able to go for the xfire or SLI'd nvidia cards if ever I want to go for them :)

you can keep your current psu for now,then decide what you wanna do 7950 or 7870 ect

the 7 series cards run much cooler and oc better than the 6 series
