Hey Everyone,
I built a computer several years ago and I want to do some upgrading. I watched Linus' Ultimate DIY PC desk build log and decided to build my own computer desk. I need some advice on whether to upgrade my motherboard and cpu.
Here is my current build.
Case: NZXT Switch 810
Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB memory kit (4x4)
GPU: 2x - 3GB EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 in SLI
Hard Drive: 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
Solid State Drive: 128GB Toshiba SSD
PSU: EVGA Supernova 1300 G2
Cooling: Liquid cooling on CPU/GPU/Memory
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My current plan is to upgrade the 2 Video Cards, Memory, and to maybe add a second 1TB HDD. I will be water cooling all the components and doing my first (and hopefully not problematic) hard tube system.
My question for the forum is whether I should upgrade the Motherboard and CPU as well as the Video Cards and Memory, or stick with my current plan to upgrade just the GPU and Memory.
I have already put a lot of money into building the desk and I would like to minimize the cost of the upgrade which is why I am just looking at the Video Cards and Memory. My main use of the computer is for gaming. I don't do any streaming or video editing. If I were to upgrade everything, I would probably limit the cost to 2500 since I have probably already spent about 1000 on the desk alone. Linus and the gang made it look "easy" when they built their desk.
Thanks a bunch.
