Below is my current build, recently my PC broke as when I tried to turn it on the mobo light came on and nothing happened. This was kind of a good time for me to upgrade so!
CPU - Intel Sandybridge i5-2500k 8MB Cache, Socket 1155)
GPU - Asus AMD Radeon HD 7970 Graphics Card (3GB, GDDR5, HDMI, DVI-I, PCI-Express 3.0)
RAM – Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Two Module Kit
CPU COOLER - Thermalright - CPU Heatsink Kit - 2x 140mm PWM Fan - Silver Arrow (This is good but annoying it takes up way too much space!?)
MOBO - ASRock Z68 Professional Gen.3 Motherboard (Socket 1155, DDR3, Micro ATX, ASRock Instant Boot)
HDD - Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black 1 TB 7200 RPM Internal Hard Disk Drive
SSD - Crucial CT128M4SSD2 128GB M4 SSD
CASE - COOLER MASTER RC-932-KKN5-GP HAF 932 Advanced MicroATX/ATX/E-ATX Full Tower Case (Black)
OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Full Version (PC DVD), 1 User
PSU – NZXT 850w (probably faulty)
MONITOR - Samsung S24A300H 23.6 inch Widescreen LED Monitor (MEGA DCR, 1920 x 1080 Full HD, 2ms, HDMI/VGA)
DISC DRIVE - LiteOn IHAS224-19 Lite-On 24x DVD-RW LightScribe SATA
KEYBOARD - Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard (UK Layout)
CPU - I'm looking to upgrade my CPU, I mainly play games and run various programs such as Camtasia and Skype alongside other stuff so I need a CPU that's able to handle this kind of stuff, I'm thinking of going possibly with a Haswell i7 4770k or an Ivy 3770k or is there actually any need to upgrade from the CPU i already have?
MOBO - Obviously if I was to upgrade my CPU to a Haswell I'd need a new mobo and I'm not really sure about motherboards.
PSU - I also need a new power supply, My current NZXT HALE90-850-M PSU is broken and so I need a new PSU, I could go with the same one or a different one I'm not sure. I had a good Corsair PSU before this and it burnt out on me so I don't really want to go with them.
I'm also wondering about liquid cooling as the silver arrow is huge and I want something compact but still as good as the silver arrow for cooling?
Thanks
