Hi, I'm considering upgrading my PC. These are my specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Socket 1155 LGA - Asrock z77 Pro3
6Gb ddr3 (3 sticks of 2gb)
ATI radeon 5770
600W PSU
The main reason for this upgrade is because my motherboard has several issues and I can't replace it. Some of these include: random corruption of data(checked ram and HDD on another pc - which found nothing), clock keeps losing time(tried changing CMOS battery-no luck), when my graphics card is plugged into the other PCI express I get loads of blue screens randomly(even after reinstalling windows/drivers) as well as blue screens when I need to use my PC the most(usually during some work ><)
In which scenario would I see the best performance increase
(I like to play high end games on a single 1080p display):
Waiting for DDR4 motherboards' and ram's price to settle a bit and thus do a whole system upgrade
or
Get a new motherboard, graphics card and PSU with remaining cash(if any)to be used on cooling and SSD
(Graphics card would probably be either a GTX 760/770/R9 290x - altough I'm open to suggestions)
Budget for option 1 = 1100euro
Budget for option 2 = 600euro
