mid-range Gaming PC upgrade

[auditt984]

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum
i also apologize for my crappy English.. please be patient with its.

It's my intention to upgrade my actual PC which has:
CPU-> intel Q6600 (not overclocked).
MB -> asus striker extreme.
RAM -> 4GB of Crucial ballistix DDR2 800(dual channel mode) .
GC -> Zotac GTX 460 2GB (imported from the US).
PSU -> Zalman ZM500-GS 500W ATX Power Supply.
HEATSINK -> Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler.
CASE -> Aerocool strike X

Please suggest me a good configuration which lies on a budget that's up to 500£ ( graphic card included) considering that some parts of my actual PC cab be re-used.

PS. I don't like overclocking and, possibly ,i'd want stay with Intel CPUs.


Cheers!!!

OK, i've made some configurations and ,according to me, this one is the best one for my budget but i've to choose the video card:

CPU -> intel i5 4570
MB -> Gigabyte H87-HD3
RAM -> 8GB kingston HyperX beast

About the video card, the choice is between the GTx 670 OC, GTX 660TI or AMD HD 7950.

You might as well go for a GTX770 or a 7970 - they'll be another £30-£40 but it'll be worth it in the long run!

Both GTX 770 an Hd 7970 are out of my budget (550GB£ or 800US$). Maybe i can save a bit of money on the CPU with the i5 4430. i don't want go for AMD solutions: too power hungry while performances are quite low.... From my actual configuration i can save the PSU, case and, eventually, the heatsink which is quite good.

i need to re-buid up a multipurpose pc, both for gaming and for working.. 1080p resolution is ok (single monitor) for me.

yeah mate, i know that GTX is a great videocard. I like gaming but i don't do it quite often that's why a GTX 660ti is also fine... 100 bucks are 100 bucks

At the end... AMD platform should be fine with FX 8320

No, I was saying that you posted the gtx as being £550 and it's £350 ;D

Sorry mate there was a misunderstanding: 550£ is by final budget grphic card included

 

[Jacks0n]

go for a 7870 or a 7950 if you can afford it!
