Hi.

Current setup:

PSU: Seasonic M12ii-520 Bronze (520watt)

MB: MSI H61M-P20 G3

CPU: Intel core I3 3220 3.3ghz dual core

CPU is liquid cooled:

Thermaltake Water3.0 Pro (push+pull)

GPU: EVGA gtx 650ti 1gig 128bit

RAM: 8gb 1333mhz

If I upgrade to core I5 and MSI gtx 760 twinfrozr, wil I be able to play for eg. Battlefield 4 with 70+ fps? At least setting on medium or higher.

And if not, maybe you could recomend something else?

Thanks in advance

Yip it works now thanks* Can I just ask why I need the new mobo? Mine isnt that bad is it?

Because it's a different socket...

 

Also, can you give us a link to a site from the shop you're buying from, since i guess prices are quite different O.o

thats because the cpu is an 1150 socket. yours is an older 1155 socket. also the motherboard's chipset won't work with haswell cpu's :)

Oh i didnt even think of that. Sory. But here is the site i would like buying fro as I trust them and bougt my previous build from them. www.evetech.co.za

This is quite a... bad site...Can't even find CPU category...
