Had all my pc parts for about 4 years, the gpu only 2. It's performance is wavering and I am planning to upgrade and would love some opinions on my build.
My budget is around $1000
CURRENT OLD PC:
XFX Radeon HD7970
Intel i7 960 Bloomfield
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
16GB DDR3 Ripjaws, 4 of them, DRAM frequency 560mhz
1000W Thortech Thunderbolt
2TB 7200 RPM Seagate
60gb SSD
I want to pretty much replace the gpu, cpu, mobo, and ram and get a new bigger SSD. Keeping my Seagate and PSU.
Some people have said that my pc should be fine but I promise you that from using it it isn't.
For my new parts I would prefer models that came out this year.
I have a few non-negotiables; Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU (last 3 were amd, time for a change), Not a Gigabyte motherboard
HYPOTHETICAL NEW PARTS
Intel Core i5 6600K – Nice new cpu, pretty much the same price as the i5 4690K
MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB – Have looked around and this seems to be the best GPU around the $500 mark
Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M2A2133C13R 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 Red – I know I have 16gb of RAM already but they are slightly faulty and I would rather DDR4
Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB 2.5in SSD
I really have no motherboard preference aside from having high speed SATA ports to maximise my SSD and maybe a red one to go with colour scheme?
Also looking at getting a new screen probably the Benq rl2755hm
Any comments would be great.
