Hi All

 

I have £220 to spend on some PC hardware but I don't know what to purchase (1st world problems).

 

My rig is below;

 

Antec P280 (windowed)

Z77 Big Bang

3570k @ 4.0

16GB corsair vengeance

MSI GTX680 power edition

OCZ Agility 240GB & 4TB HDD

1080p Acer 60hz

Ducky Zero (browns)

Deathadder 2013 (I think)

 

(I am not interested in any audio equipment)

 

I mainly play Dota, Hearthstone, BF3&4 and a bit of Skyrim.

 

I am in the UK.

 

Thanks for all replies.

There's nothing I'd really change, You have a solid build. Perhaps a new Montior? or new case?

There really isn't anything worth upgrading for that price. You would need more money to get anything significantly better.

Second hand GTX 970.

Wow fast response from you all, I wish I could save money but I have a 6 month old which will hoover up the cash before I blink twice.

 

I was thinking of a new monitor maybe 27" if possible but would I be better staying at 1080 or go higher?

 

All suggestions welcome.

 

Thanks again

You have a 6 month old kid... save it for something more important. I wouldn't go 1440 on a 680 if you want to keep settings high in your more demanding games.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P
