Hello everyone ,
Last year , I built a Gaming PC for my vacations. I did some minor upgrades on it since. But now I have got some money and I think its perfect to upgrade now as I will be doing some hardcore gaming now.
Here's my rig -
Intel i5 3570K w/CM Hyper 212 EVO
Corsair XMS3 4GB RAM
ASRock Z77 Extreme3
Asus GTX 650TiBoost DCII 2GB OC
CM HAF XB
WD GREEN 500GB
SeaSonic X850
LG GH24NS95

I have a budget of 15000 INR ( consider 220ish USdollars )
Oh and BTW , I can sell the current part for what I upgrade.
So I can get around another 8K ( 100US dollars ) for my GPU or 13K for my CPU (150 US dollars )
So umm , what should I get ?
Like a new Haswell CPU or a new GPU ?
I want to top every game at 1080p on very high/ultra @ 45+ FPS.
If possible , I was also looking for a SSD only from Intel ( 530 )
Please help me.

I would keep that CPU if I were you.
My suggestions: new GPU maybe like a gtx 760
More Ram! some of the new games use 6GB
And you could buy an SSD that would have a big impact on your system!

Well I said gtx 760 because im nvidia fan. Also because I have it myself and it works great. It also has shadowplay and other cool nvidia stuff!
I would pick the EVGA if you're going for the gtx 760.. They have the best support and I personally think they overclock better! Also I love their design

Sorry for double posts

Duh oh , EVGA , PNY and Asus ROG models of any GPU are not available in India.
Anyways , is the reference design cool ? Which cooler you have ? The reference one or An ACX?
Just curious to know. Plus the cheapest model in India is 18900 but I can buy it if it's worth it.
Also should I instead SLI my GTX 650TiBoost ? Some say it will be better.
Also if I do , is it compulsory to use the same model, or a similar version of same GPU.

If you choose EVGA go with the ACX! it's worth it in terms of temps!
would get a GTX 760. Less power consumption and its a bit better then 2 650 Ti's. And SLI wont always work flawlessly. Some games don't like SLI. Dont forget SLI generates more heat!

Will the 760 be better than two 650TiBEs ?
Also there's a Sapphire 280X with DualX coolers for 23.3 K , should I save for that ?

Well I litterally just told you that the gtx 760 was better than Gtx 650 ti SLI..
And a GTX 760 is almost, if not as good as the Radeon R9 280X.

And BTW I dont know the Indian money system so I have no idea what 23.3 K is..
