Mobo H61 Micro ATX
Ram 8GB 1333
PSU Cooler Master 430w
GPU GTX 560 (non-Ti)
Hi everyone I need some advice. For my backup gaming rig I have a basic store bought HP Pro Micro ATX case with i3-2120 and Win7/64. I then massaged it with 8GB of 1333 ram and GTX560 in title. This setup is running Skyrim/Crysis 2 in 1080p w/ lowest detail for hours without any hiccups with fan profile at a constant 60% and no other variables but stock settings. The 560 will play on ultra but gpu fan shuts down after 10-15 minutes and temps will spike to 70+ (all this happens with the side panel off).
My question is, should I just be happy where I am or is there something else definitely worth getting that will allow me to play with higher settings (ultra would be nice but unrealistic) and will not be severely bottle-necked by the i3-2120?
Please also recommend a good bronze or better 80+ top mount psu, currently I am using the much hated Cooler Master 430w-lol.
Budget for gpu is $250 +/-
Budget for psu is $100 +/-
