I built my PC around 2 years ago and I'm now looking to upgrade it.
i7 2600k
Palit GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5
8 GB G.SKILL RAM
ASUS P8P67 PRO RAM
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
650w PSU
I can run most games at med-high if I want a smooth & consistent FPS. However I'm hoping to upgrade now so I run games like ARMA 3 even smoother. Or Total War: Rome 2 on high when it comes out. I used to built in bios auto-overclock function. It's supposed to be safe and find an overclock for your CPU where it wont crash but it always gave me the BSOD so I had to revert to stock settings. I'm not sure if that's because of my PSU or if I need to buy more fans to keep my comp cool for overclocking. If I do need a new CPU then I can get any Intel CPU at $330 for around $150 (cousin works there).
Thanks
