Approximate Purchase Date: This weekend
Budget Range: £400-£600 After Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the Internet, Watching Movies
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Definitely: RAM, Taking advice on: Graphics Card, Motherboard, Power Supply, Storage
Do you need to buy OS: Will depend on if I need a new Motherboard
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Scan.co.uk
Location: Cambridgeshire, England
Parts Preferences: None really , if I upgrade my graphics card I'd probably go NVidia rather than AMD
Overclocking: I clock my processor to 3.7
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 2 1920x1080 Samsung SyncMaster B2430 monitors
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm getting freezes when playing Playerunknowns Battlegrounds and my system is going out of date, starting to slow down etc.I believe RAM is causing freezing on PUBG as it has known memory links but want to take this opportunity to sort my computer out.
I also have problems with the computer failing to post, often multiple times in a row, which is why I believe I may need a new power supply or Mobo.
Current Specification:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77 - D3H
CPU: Intel i3570k
Power Supply: Core XStream 500W
RAM: 8GB (2*4GB) Corsai Vengeance RAM
SSD: Sandisk 128gb
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200rpm
GPU: AMD XFX Radeon HD 7870
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212
Case: NZXT Phanstom 410 midi tower
My initial thoughts are a GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 2x8GB RAM along with a 550W Corsair VS550
A few questions, should I get two additional 4GB sticks of RAM, rather than two new 8GB sticks? Would there be any difference? Would the RAM have to match?
Would the power supply have all the correct connections for my system? I think I'm right it would but wanted to double check. Also do I need 550W or would the 450W be better?
