hello,

[strike]Experts, gamers, members, my fellow ps2 comrades, i need your help on deciding the best course to breathe new life into my age old pc, your vast knowledge will certainly help, that still somehow still running strong <pun intended> .My aim is to get atleast 50-60 fps in large battles, with all the settings maxed, which i think with current tech should be achievable./[/strike]

THREAD UPDATE
considering the market right now, i think it would be best to aim for something that'll last for next 5 years. my current system lasted me for 5 years already, going into its 6 year without any hitch in any games till now, thou had to graphic quality droped thats given thou.

My current specs are:-

CPU - i5 2400 stock
Ram - 16gig
Mobo - intel h67 (worst part i know, T_T)
gpu - gtx 670 amp zotac
hdd - age old spinners
case - haf 922
psu - corsair tx 850v2
monitor - samsung s23700d, yes 120hz
keyboard/mouse - standard stuff, g402 mouse
windows 7

[strike]with this system i get around, well not get but rather barely make it to 25-30fps on ultra in meduim large fights indoor, with tanks etc runing around its barely playable if you count random firing as playing. This is what i want to get rid off to hopefully make my experiance better, and this is where i need your help very very much, i cant emphasize how much <_>.[/strike]

So here's my idea of new system

New system (hopefully)
CPU - intel 6 core
ram - 32 gig
mobo - undecided
gpu - undecided
hdd --> SSD, OFCOURSE!, brand - samsung? i guess
case - haf 922 --> [strike]a bit of modding should help with large gpus?[/strike] as small package as possible
psu - tx 850v2 --> [strike]again carryover, its 5 years old, it should last another 3-4 years[/strike] considering upgrading this now as well, seeing a psu may die on me, mid life in
monitor - [strike]again carryover, no issues with current one so far[/strike] looking for 1440p monitor 144hz preferably
key/mouse - carryover
windows 10 pro,[strike] unless ps2 requires win 7[/strike]

Your feedback is very valuable, i hope to hear from you guys soon.
purchase period, ASAP

Budget no constrain, but i need a build which is at least moderately energy efficient and as small footprint as possible

Regards,
APS

truthfully thats hard to answer, i'm from india, and due to our esteemed PM the tax laws have been changed, so right now its hard to figure prices for anything, shopkeepers are hesitant in stocking up, even online prices are skewed. i guess best answer to this would be, whats the best i can get, and still remain sane.
 
The easiest upgrade would be getting an i5 6500k and a gtx 1070 and maybe adding an ssd to your current setup


If you wanna step it up the current midrange champion is the Amd R5 1600 with a 350 board and something around a gtx 1060/gtx 1070

[strike]ok but would amd run it?, isn't single core performance more important? i was thinking of along the lines of intel/nvidia combo, else it can be amd-amd combo.

another query i have is will a dual gpu improve fps over single for planetside 2?, and since summer temps here reach 45 c, should i jump to liquid cooling? thou i can only get aio coolers, as customs loops are not available here
also about your suggestion 1070 gtx, isnt that just a notch above gtx 670?
SSD is a definitive upgrade along with windows 10 pro[/strike]

i have updated the main post, please consider going thru it once again
thanks
