When I first decided to build my computer I was aiming towards a low budget, now that I have a job I would like to upgrade by computer at a relatively low cost. My current specs are;
* Gigabyte H61M DS2 motherboard
* Intel i3 2120 CPU
* Radeon HD 7770 GPU
* 8GB 1333MHz unbranded RAM
* Some sort of cheap brand Antec PSU, 700W, which I was going to replace because of the bad reviews, but mines been running fine for a year.
Don't get me wrong, this is a nice little gaming pc, but now I want to run things at better FPS.
I'm currently into DayZ Standalone, and I get around 20-40 FPS, and when I go into towns it goes down to 10-15, I believe this is due to the 2 core processor.
Anyway, my budget for this is around £600 for everything include CPU/GPU and whatever else is needed. I was considering a 7970 and an i5 3570k, but if I get these will I need another PSU? Anyway I'll leave it up to the toms's hardware community, thanks.
