Upgrades, to my setup and the PC its'self for 2016

[doinurmop]

Right, I've planned out how I'm gonna spend my money in 2016, to buy my new setup, heck some of it may even be bought for me on my birthday, though the GPU and such will most likely be xmas 2016.

 

Just copy and pasting this from notepad, if you want to make any suggestions and share your opinions go ahead <3.

 

"Things to buy next year, either birthday, own money, or XMAS

GOgroove SonaVERSE LBr 2.1 Speakers (£22 buy first)

New Corsair Cherry MX Blue K70 (£119)

Mousepad: Corsair MM200 (£28)

Mouse: G502 (Possibly £50 may change)

new GPU GTX 970  (about £265)

New desk (£60-£120)

Power supply 750 watts corsair (£70)

Possibly Oculus Rift (no clue)

 

First month: Speakers and mousepad

 

Second month: mouse

 

Third month: £80 In total.

 

Fourth month: keyboard

 

Fith month: £80

 

Sixth Month: £140

 

P.S: Check charity shop, they usually have good large desks for like £20-£60

 

 

 

Current desk: 21 inches tall 44 inches across 15 inches wide

 

Note 1: Buy GPU And Power supply last, since my current PC  is good enough for all the games I play, and it's the least of my concerns atm. I'll probably 

 

just get that and the PS for XMAS 2016 anyway."

If the PSU is a CX, forget about it. 

 

Also, is a 390 in budget?

[Arwanell]

this is pretty weird to plan

you know how many things will change in a year and a month?

new Nvidia GPU's are coming, AMD's ZEN CPUs are coming...

It's the CX750 so it would be fine as it was a re-brand of a good psu.

GTX 970 will be fine for me man. To be honest, I'm mostly planning it for my keyboard mouse, desk etc. Since, by god I need those upgraded.

although the Gigabyte isn't the best, it's the cheapest and not the worst

As long as it can run GTA 5 at max settings, same with oculus rift games, I'll be fine.

 

My god my mother probably gonna be spending more money next year on me then she did this year.

At least it's cheaper in the US.

Dumb Americans, and their damned dollars

 

As I said, since I have a gut feeling, the pc upgrades will be made on XMAS, i'll have a much larger budget then.

well, i have i5 4590 and r9 390 and i get ~50 FPS maxed out in GTA V (Online). online is a bit more demanding

I assume even the textures then? Nice.

I've heard that if you go into the task manager and set GTA 5 to max priority, it should run faster, or stop stuttering if you have stuttering problems

 

As for CPU I have an i5 4690

Forgot to ask, what's the reason you say to avoid the CX series?

Bad, cheap Chinese capacitors that literally explode when load is reached. Hence, why they're only used in office PC' s and media computers.

Your use of the literally, is questionable.

I find it hard to believe they actually explode, so if the CX series are bad, what do you suggest?

 

Not to mention, if they're so bad I don't see why many people recommend the PSU.

The capacitors pop (explode). They recommend them because they're cheap.

Again, so what PSU would you suggest?

Any SeaSonic OEM will do nicely. This includes SeaSonic and XFX PSU' s. SeaSonic is the most reliable power supply manufacturer.

Maybe so, but those prices are putting me off.

Really? They're the best powers supplies in the world for reliability. A reliable PSU is worth more than the other components combined. If your PSU is bad, you don't want to risk having it take out the rest of your parts with it.

Yes, but the price is still a bit heavy imo.

What's the price difference where you live?

Would you like the price difference on a specific seasonic PSU or you want me to go compare multiple of them?

[The Official Czex]

Compare a 650W XFX PSU.

[doinurmop]

Compare a 650W XFX PSU.

Alright then. I'm getting a seasonic PSU

Do you know if this model would work with an atx motherboard
