Hi,
I want to upgrade my pc even though it performs well on most games I always have the urge to upgrade it!
Here are my full specs: (some aren't specific)
CPU - Intel i7 2600 @3.40GHz
GPU - EVGA NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti
RAM - 8GB (Speed: PC3-10600 MB/sec,Type: DDR3-1333)
Motherboard - Pegatron IPISB-CH2
PSU - OCZ-ZS650W-UK ATX 650w PSU
HDD - 2TB (Interface: SATA, Rotational Speed: 5400 RPM)
Blu ray disk drive

(full specs are here, apart from the GPU and PSU have been upgraded - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en...)

I need a new case ASAP, everything is pretty crammed up, anyone got any recommendations? I want the biggest case possible, I don't really care about cosmetics, just size, and I want to spend around £100 on that.
I was thinking about getting 660 Ti SLI, would you recommend that? I'd have to buy a new motherboard though, so any recommendations for that haha?

I don't have a lot of money, I have a part time job and probably get about £200-£300 a month.
..Anyway, what would you guys reccomemmend?
Thank you!

I would suggest a better hard drive... either a 7200RPM or an SSD.

I'm not really bothered about my HDD at the moment mate, the hard drive I have now wouldn't effect my gaming experience would it?

your current hard drive is kinda slow but it will only really affect level load times and windows boot times, not frames per second. and ur 2600k is still wiked fast and actually overclocks better than 3770k or 4770k. so if u want performance gains FOR FREE! pump that sucker up to as much a 5.0ghz with an aftermarket cooler. even with stock cooler u can get low to mid 4ghz. but for gaming your best value is easily sli'ing ur 660. that wii give u as much as 80% + improvement in games for relatively low price.

Haha it's not a 2600k it's just a regular 2600 :( 
So you think I should get 660 Ti SLI? That would mean buying a new motherboard and a new case, do you reccommend any? My main question is what case shall I get as I have quite low budget at the moment.

Buy a new case if you really feel it is necessary. Something like the Zalman Z11,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It's what I use and its a great case. It has 5 HDD bays, and 4 optical bays for lots of storage and it has a hidden SSD bay behind the motherboard so that you don't use up a bay for that, and it is a good sized case for a great amount of money.

As for an upgrade I would not go the dual GPU route with a 660Ti. If it were me I would upgrade to the most powerful single GPU your budget will allow. Either of the Radeon HD7900 series GPU's or on the nVidia side there is the options of either GTX 670, 680, 770, or 780.

Hope I've been helpful :)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Define-R4-Case/d... AMAZING case and fits your budget, i would get a better mobo like the AsRock Extreme 6, and maybe some 1600 ram.


I don't think I need RAM upgrade, it's not crucial anyway, but thanks for the case suggestion and I have been looking at that MB lately, thanks for that!

Personally I would still go with the Zalman as it's brand new, not second hand, and I see no point in a Full Tower unless your going to do large multi GPU arrays or need a lot of hard drive space or something, which actually the Zalman has the same amount of HDD bays and one less optical bay. (Also I think the Zalman looks cooler :p  lol) As for the RAM suggestion, you should be fine. No need to upgrade your RAM as you will not really see a noticeable gain. The SSD route is a good idea when you can do it, as it will free up space on your other drive so you can dedicate it to media and a SSD will offer you much faster game load times and your system will boot in next to no time, making pesky reboots and things a much simpler thing to deal with.

Yeah I was thinking about selling my HDD and maybe getting 2 seperate ones, so recordings would also be much better/faster.

Hmm, not sure about the case, it is cheap and it certainly does look nice but I would much rather a bigger case so I can have better cooling, more space for cable management and I will probably end up getting 660 Ti SLI because benchmarks show that they're both very powerful cards together. Would that case have enough room for all of that?

-EDIT-
Also, a youtuber called 'BFerrari' used to use a setup which was awesome, he had this case: Graphite Series 600T
It is brand new for about £140 which is around 3/4 times the price of the zalman but it looks higher quality and better for my purpose.

The Zalman is plenty big enough for 2 cards. Any more then that, probably not. The cooling in it is also more then good enough. I promise you will be very happy with it. It even fits my ridiculously large Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler with room to spare. It's also built with very high quality materials. I can't really see how they even make money on them. As for SLI versus single GPU, with SLI you may get more power but it won't be nearly as consistent as a very powerful single card. If you sell your current 660 with the money you make on it you could easily get into something like the HD 7970 GHz Edition or a GTX 770 with only about $100-$150 on top of what you make from the sale. You can easily get $220-250 out of a GTX 660 Ti and a 7970 GHz Edition runs about $350 to $400. GTX 770's run about $400 bucks also. Plus with the 7970's you get 4 free games. Then save up and Crossfire or SLI one of those options for a total beast of a machine.

Shit, that's really tempting! I'll probably buy the zalman z11 case then but are you sure there will be plenty of room?

I'll try and sell my GPU and CPU and try and get a 770 + 2600k cpu, would you agree with this?

I'm certain that it has plenty of room. It's the case I have sitting at home lol.

Anyway if you can squeeze that all into your budget then yes. But the only reason to go to a 2600K would be if you are going to overclock, in which case you then need to go buy a CPU cooler thats going to run you at least $30 or so. If you don't plan to do any overclocking then keep what you have and just sell the 660 Ti and pick up the 770 or 7970 GHz Edition. I think the 7970 is a better deal cause you get Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry Blood Dragon with it for a card that has very similar performance. Plus you can sometimes find the 7970's for about $50 less then the GTX 770. But go with whatever you think will be best for you. In the end it's your machine. I do believe you will be much happier going with a single powerful card and that case. Oh I have a HD 7950 in mine right now and I could easily get a second in there if I wanted to, plus the cable management is also pretty good.

Buy a new case if you really feel it is necessary. Something like the Zalman Z11,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It's what I use and its a great case. It has 5 HDD bays, and 4 optical bays for lots of storage and it has a hidden SSD bay behind the motherboard so that you don't use up a bay for that, and it is a good sized case for a great amount of money.

As for an upgrade I would not go the dual GPU route with a 660Ti. If it were me I would upgrade to the most powerful single GPU your budget will allow. Either of the Radeon HD7900 series GPU's or on the nVidia side there is the options of either GTX 670, 680, 770, or 780.

Hope I've been helpful :) 


Very helpful!
What about a second hand Cooler Master HAF 932 for £65?


Personally I would still go with the Zalman as it's brand new, not second hand, and I see no point in a Full Tower unless your going to do large multi GPU arrays or need a lot of hard drive space or something, which actually the Zalman has the same amount of HDD bays and one less optical bay. (Also I think the Zalman looks cooler :p  lol) As for the RAM suggestion, you should be fine. No need to upgrade your RAM as you will not really see a noticeable gain. The SSD route is a good idea when you can do it, as it will free up space on your other drive so you can dedicate it to media and a SSD will offer you much faster game load times and your system will boot in next to no time, making pesky reboots and things a much simpler thing to deal with.

Yeah I was thinking about selling my HDD and maybe getting 2 seperate ones, so recordings would also be much better/faster.

Hmm, not sure about the case, it is cheap and it certainly does look nice but I would much rather a bigger case so I can have better cooling, more space for cable management and I will probably end up getting 660 Ti SLI because benchmarks show that they're both very powerful cards together. Would that case have enough room for all of that?

-EDIT-
Also, a youtuber called 'BFerrari' used to use a setup which was awesome, he had this case: Graphite Series 600T
It is brand new for about £140 which is around 3/4 times the price of the zalman but it looks higher quality and better for my purpose.


Here are some measurements I have noted down.

MY CASE
6.69" - w
11.8" - h
15.4" - d

ODD- 2 BAYS
HDD - 2 BAYS

Cooler Master HAF 932
9.6" - W
22.5" FRONT HALF - 21.5" BACK HALF - H
22.7" - D

ZALMAN Z11
10.24" W
19.61" H
20.67" D


Graphite Series 600T (used by bferrari)

10.4" - W
20" - H
23.3" -d


The Zalman is plenty big enough for 2 cards. Any more then that, probably not. The cooling in it is also more then good enough. I promise you will be very happy with it. It even fits my ridiculously large Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler with room to spare. It's also built with very high quality materials. I can't really see how they even make money on them. As for SLI versus single GPU, with SLI you may get more power but it won't be nearly as consistent as a very powerful single card. If you sell your current 660 with the money you make on it you could easily get into something like the HD 7970 GHz Edition or a GTX 770 with only about $100-$150 on top of what you make from the sale. You can easily get $220-250 out of a GTX 660 Ti and a 7970 GHz Edition runs about $350 to $400. GTX 770's run about $400 bucks also. Plus with the 7970's you get 4 free games. Then save up and Crossfire or SLI one of those options for a total beast of a machine.


Shit, that's really tempting! I'll probably buy the zalman z11 case then but are you sure there will be plenty of room?

I'll try and sell my GPU and CPU and try and get a 770 + 2600k cpu, would you agree with this?


I'm certain that it has plenty of room. It's the case I have sitting at home lol.

Anyway if you can squeeze that all into your budget then yes. But the only reason to go to a 2600K would be if you are going to overclock, in which case you then need to go buy a CPU cooler thats going to run you at least $30 or so. If you don't plan to do any overclocking then keep what you have and just sell the 660 Ti and pick up the 770 or 7970 GHz Edition. I think the 7970 is a better deal cause you get Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry Blood Dragon with it for a card that has very similar performance. Plus you can sometimes find the 7970's for about $50 less then the GTX 770. But go with whatever you think will be best for you. In the end it's your machine. I do believe you will be much happier going with a single powerful card and that case. Oh I have a HD 7950 in mine right now and I could easily get a second in there if I wanted to, plus the cable management is also pretty good.


Alright, thank you so much! I'm going to order one now for £50 and a new motherboard for about £80, a Asrock Z77 EXTREME4-M!
I will wait until I next get paid and then start to think about upgrading my GPU and CPU.

This was my first time using this site, I normally use yahoo answers but I've had an awesome experience on here and will use it more often, thank you for the help!

My last little bit of advice before you go, is if you get a new motherboard, get an ATX board not a mATX board, because in the future if you do try to upgrade to a multi GPU set up you are going to want the extra room on the board. I am happy that I could help though. Can you select me as the best answer if you feel I did a good job in helping you?

Yeah sure I'll do that in a sec!
So would you reccomend this motherboard?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It would support my 2600 LGA 1155 CPU, RAM, my GPU and my power supply would be able to run it well, right?
This is my last question haha!

Looks like a great choice, and it comes with a free 8 GB kit of RAM also. I would snag that, use the RAM you get from it, and sell of your old stuff for a little extra cash to offset the cost of all this. Your PSU will be fine also.

You can easily get $220-250 out of a GTX 660 Ti and a 7970 GHz Edition runs about $350 to $400. GTX 770's run about $400 bucks also. Plus with the 7970's you get 4 free games. Then save up and Crossfire or SLI one of those options for a total beast of a machine.


Shit, that's really tempting! I'll probably buy the zalman z11 case then but are you sure there will be plenty of room?

I'll try and sell my GPU and CPU and try and get a 770 + 2600k cpu, would you agree with this?


I'm certain that it has plenty of room. It's the case I have sitting at home lol.

Anyway if you can squeeze that all into your budget then yes. But the only reason to go to a 2600K would be if you are going to overclock, in which case you then need to go buy a CPU cooler thats going to run you at least $30 or so. If you don't plan to do any overclocking then keep what you have and just sell the 660 Ti and pick up the 770 or 7970 GHz Edition. I think the 7970 is a better deal cause you get Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry Blood Dragon with it for a card that has very similar performance. Plus you can sometimes find the 7970's for about $50 less then the GTX 770. But go with whatever you think will be best for you. In the end it's your machine. I do believe you will be much happier going with a single powerful card and that case. Oh I have a HD 7950 in mine right now and I could easily get a second in there if I wanted to, plus the cable management is also pretty good.


Alright, thank you so much! I'm going to order one now for £50 and a new motherboard for about £80, a Asrock Z77 EXTREME4-M!
I will wait until I next get paid and then start to think about upgrading my GPU and CPU.

This was my first time using this site, I normally use yahoo answers but I've had an awesome experience on here and will use it more often, thank you for the help!


My last little bit of advice before you go, is if you get a new motherboard, get an ATX board not a mATX board, because in the future if you do try to upgrade to a multi GPU set up you are going to want the extra room on the board. I am happy that I could help though. Can you select me as the best answer if you feel I did a good job in helping you?


Yeah sure I'll do that in a sec!
So would you reccomend this motherboard?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It would support my 2600 LGA 1155 CPU, RAM, my GPU and my power supply would be able to run it well, right?
This is my last question haha!


Looks like a great choice, and it comes with a free 8 GB kit of RAM also. I would snag that, use the RAM you get from it, and sell of your old stuff for a little extra cash to offset the cost of all this. Your PSU will be fine also.


Haha, i was just using that as a reference, I can't purchase from newegg because I'm not a US resident, I'm from the UK, the prices on newegg are crazy though!

Well search for deals like that, and see if you can find one. But that board would be a great option.

Both would be a great option, I usually favor MSI, so if it were me I would go with the MSI board.
