Looking for upgrade. Need advice.

[Nuikun]

  Hello guys, need some advice.

I finally decided to upgrade my pc and was wondering what would be the best options. Would like to run new games on ultra settings if possible. I play in 1080p.

 

Here is my pc build:

• P67 Extreme4 Gen3
• Intel I5 2500k
• Radeon hd 6950 2gb ddr5
• Power supply 500w
• RIPJAWS 8gb ddr3

 

    Thanks.

PSU and GPU?

Budget?

Throw a 390x in there, a good after market cooler like a BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 to overclock the i5-2500k and a new PSU.

For the the PSU, Any XFX or SeaSonic and or a EVGA GS OR G2 will work just fine.

If you have a quality PSU I would replace the GPU. If your PSU is crap, I would fix that first.

Wow I didint expect that someone will respond so fast .

Budged around 450~$

Im not at home atm, so cant really tell what my psu is.

I was looking at Sapphire Radeon R9 390 NITRO, 8GB and was wondering will my cpu will be enough ? How high can I overclock it without changing my psu ?

 Thanks.

Depends on the PSU, the wattage is far less important than the model. A good quality 500w PSU is all you need.
