So about two years ago, I purchased a custom built PC from the UK, and now I'm looking to upgrade. My computer components are listed below.
CPU - AMD FX-6100 (6 cores @ 3.3 GHz)
GPU - Nvidia GTS 450
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3
RAM - 8192 MB Corsair Vengance
PSU - Corsair CX500
As you can see, the components aren't that much to envy at in terms of gaming, so I intend to upgrade, namely my GPU, CPU and MOBO (if necessary). I plan to buy these components:
CPU - AMD FX-8350
GPU - Nvidia GTX 760 (EVGA SC ACX 2GB)
Will I need to purchase a new motherboard for these components (any recommendations?), and will the CPU be able to cope with the GPU? Will I need a larger PSU (I recently brought the Corsair CX500) or will I need water cooling? Will this build be future-proof for next gen gaming (namely Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5, if it is released on PC)? If you could provide me with any form of help, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Phaydze
(P.S. I live in the UK, and will be buying most of my components from www.ebuyer.com)
(P.P.S I can provide more in depth specifications to my PC, if nesscessary)
