Yes, you want to convince your parents to buy a £1600 PC that's freaking 2243 euro. 4 more times what my PC when I was 15 costed.

 

Instead of just getting a new GPU.

Keep on track, I narrowed it down to this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/qvfjMp plus i will be selling my xbox 360 and all the 40 games for it, so that will be me at £1000 to put on it and my parents paying £300

Wait what? Are you getting a second 4690K? WTF?

 

You said you have a GTX 750, so maybe you have like a 2500K cpu or something.

No only noobs like you pirate it  :P

 

I bought it from Microsoft itself for 29.99 back when Windows 8 came out.

 

Ironic how your signature says: Contact me for professional web development.

Why because I didn't pay for an operating system?

i want to die

If you can't afford 29.99 for Windows which you use everyday you probably don't pay for games too.

But you said you love to take PC's apart and put them back together just for fun? 

Are you being serious not knowing the specs of the PC you are using?

 

I have a i5 760 overclocked to 4.0Ghz which was a 1st gen quad core processor and still 8GB of ram and it doesn't bottleneck my 980Ti. Only upgrades over the past 4.5 year were a 128GB SSD, new case and PSU for the 980Ti.

 

My two 1TB hdd's still work and I use them for games I don't play a lot, and games like Witcher 3 and GTA V I have them on my SSD. I also got an external 3TB for extra storage.

 

I think I'm still fine for like another 2-3 years unless I want to get two 980Ti's.

I dont know my current build, 

Really? Even when you disassemble and reassemble the parts for fun?

 

Unless you have a low-power PSU, you're not going to get a performance increase from buying a new one. 

Nor are you going to get better FPS from a new case, OS license, 500GB SDD or 2TB HDD. (SDDs have no advantage over HDDs on game performance aside from loading screens).

 

You ARE going to get better FPS from a new graphics card and better cooling, but you can get that without building a completely new PC. Maybe even a better motherboard for overclocking, but do you really need to spend 100 on that last bit of overclock potential?

 

EDIT: ninja'd. The motherboard doesn't matter at all when you already have a Z97.

Edit: Guys never mind, this guy is either trolling us, or lying. Just look at his past post history. He says that he is a PC-expert but doesn't know the difference between GTX 780 and 980. He also thinks that the H100i need to be filled with tap-water.

Im no where near an expert? I just made a post that attracted arse's like you

I think you're better off ignoring people who give advice that you don't find useful instead of spitting at them. It makes other people not want to help.

You already have a PC with a Z97 motherboard and a 4690k. You made like 10 posts all asking about ridiculous specs like 32GB of ram and 970 SLI.

 

All you need is a new GPU and a new PSU is it that hard to understand?

Okay so here's the deal, I have never built a PC before and I have been researching for about 4 months now, I finally feel that this setup is right for me, however, I have never built a PC before,

 

So two days ago you NEVER build a PC before, now you disassemble them for fun? Something is fishy here.
