Hi im new to the forum and i frankly dont know much about hardware and stuff

So i decided to necessarily change my hardware to being able to play max settings for games nowadays

here's my spec :

Chassis: Haf 920

CPU: Intel Core i5 - 2500k

Motherboard: Asus P8P67 Pro Rev 3.1

RAM: 2x DDR 3 8192 MB (i forgot the brand, its a decent 1, probably corsair, bought it like 2 years back)

HDD: WD 500GB, ATA/ATAPI-8 - SATA II, support UDMA 7 (sadly i also forget the type precisely, also bought it 2 years back)

GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

Im on a budget but i dont like wasting time for the things i dont necessarily use (like a Super Pc or something)

Please help :--)

Assuming your monitor is 1080p, grab a HD 7850 or HD 7870 and you'll be golden.
and maybe a little more ram

i5 3570 | MSI GD-65 Gaming | OCZ Vertex 60gb ssd | WD Green 1TB HDD | NZXT Phantom | TP-Link Wifi card | H100 | 5850

And can u name a decent brand for the GPU? i always buy either asus/gigabyte but i know some of the brand nowadays is equally good to them.
EVGA/MSI/ASUS for NVIDIA cards or Sapphire/MSI/ASUS for AMD cards.

The best bet for an upgrade is a new GPU, Just like what has been said here. You have a decent CPU and Ram for gaming. Change out that GTX 560 and you will have a great gaming experience. Does not look like you have an SSD in there. That would be a good upgrade after changing your GPU.

Asus Maximus VI Hero , i5 4670k , 8gb Corsair vengeance ddr3, Asus HD 7970 matrix platinum, Corsair AX860, Ocz agility 3 120gb ssd, 1tb wd green hdd, custom water loop. All in an Antec p280

If I was a mod I'd move this thread

export PS1='\[\033[1;30m\]┌╼ \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;30m\] ╾╼ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\]\n\[\033[1;30m\]└╼ \[\033[1;37m\]'

And does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my fan problem?? if anyone still care :) thx

 

The soun you hear are the fans speeding up to be able to remove the heat, maybe its also a bit dirty. Check you gpu and cpu cooler to be sure.
