My PC Upgrading Thread

So... I got 425 euros saved up so I thought I could upgrade my pc a little. My specs are in my sig I just wanted to add that I have some crazy loud cpu cooler that I forgot to put in my sig.

 

While I do want a gtx 760 and a Samsung 840 SSD, but should I get a decent PSU first? (I was thinking the Corsair GS700).

I was also interested in the Corsair H110i but I am not sure if it is to complicated to install.

 

 

 

 

What would you do?

PC Specs:  2x GTX 550 ti in SLI - Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz - Thermaltake Overseer Case - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram - 1TB Harddrive - 500 Watt PSU that came with my old prebuilt pc lawl -  ASUS P8P67 EVO

Peripherals:  Razer Deathadder Black Edition - Razer Arctosa Keyboard - Logitech G53 Headset

Cool song of the day: Chief Keef - Round da Rosey    Changed my profile pic again...                                        Mountain Dew is good. So are video games and music. Oh and unicorns.

Get a 7970 and maybe a closed loop system like h100i? Oh and also better psu. You do not want to damage your components because of garbage psu.

Also get a mechanical keyboard.

Definitely a 80+ efficiency certified PSU first. And between a SSD or graphics card is up to you. Do you want faster boot times and overall quicker Windows navigation or more frames per second for upcoming games. 550 Ti SLI might be too weak to play at high/ultra settings. And it's possible to install a H100i if you're keen to use a power drill to put some mounting holes into the case.

you could get a

 

... gtx 760 > 215€

... samsung 840 evo 250gb > 150€

... FSP Aurum Gold 500W > 65€

 

for 430€

get a 7950 instead. And i would probably go with a 600w for future overclocking.

Looks like a very good keyboard, however only buy it if you know you like red switches, some people like red switches, but also some people hate them.

I would read the reviews if i could lol. I am quite terrible at german, even tho my school forces me to learn german :/ Oh and yeah it would benefit your system more with better graphics cards rather then a better cooler, but of course if you cant stand the noise of your cpu cooler then get a new one. Personally i have the stock intel cooler in atm, and i cant stand the noise of that thing. I will be replacing it soon.

I'd get a decent 120/128GB ssd--there are many good ones--whichever is cheapest would work.

A Hyper 212 Evo for the cooler.

Whatever gpu/psu i can fit. Probably a 500-600w bronze and a 7950/7970. (Wait for sales/9000 series).

You said your specs are in your sig. 

Then again, hell if I know what @MrSuperb is talking about.
