Hey everyone,
I built my system back in 2010 for the main purpose of gaming and general use.
Since having it built, the only thing I have changed was to increase the ram (4GB -> 8GB).
Everything else has been the same as I hadn't had much time to maintain(not upgrade) my PC apart from occasionally cleaning it out.
This is my system as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7 870
Motherboard: MSi P55-GD65
GPU: MSi GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 1GB Overclocked
PSU: CoolerMaster eXtreme Power Plus 650W
Case: CoolerMaster Cm Scout
The main reason for upgrading now was to play some of the newer games coming out, for which I know my current won't run. One such title is Watch Dogs and playing it was a joke, on my system. So I'm looking for upgrades that would run it smoothly.
I wanna try and reuse the case, PSU, RAM and HDD (i will also be getting an 120GB SSD). My budget is around $600(AUD) mark and the site I bought everything from before is http://www.pccasegear.com
I've had a look at upgrading the cpu and gpu but then realized the socket is outdated and I would also have to upgrade the motherboard too.
Any help from those more experienced than me would be much appreciated.
