Upgrade with £1200
Last response: in Systems
Hello,
I have about £1200 to spend on upgrading my pc, which i haven't done in a long time, I already want a new GPU (the GTX 680 4gig) which is gonna cost about £421.03 inc VAT if I get an upgrade from PCSpecialist.co.uk. My question is what do i spend the remaining money on?

I'd get a decent SSD, that green drive must be pretty slow. Other than that I'd leave it for now, you're fine.
The 840 Pro series is pretty awesome, I'd go for that.

EDIT: Any more performance boosts won't be worthwhile in my opinion, I'd sooner spend the money on nice speakers/headset or a monitor. Maybe a 2560x1440 monitor?
