And now comes the bad part of it!  I have here an OLD HDD

 

 

 

 

now i want to replace my 750 TI whit an 1060 or 1050 ( bit more ram then my 2 GiG) and my old 250 GB HDD whit  an SSD  *but I dont wanne fidel whit chancing the document folder or fiddel in reg edit to chance stuff to the data HDD* so I think an SSHDD is good for me.

 

 

Or an whole new pc?   becus it can 

  • 1200 Dollar or less
  • SSHDD
  • 1050/1060?
  • new case

I`m very sorry for my poor English i`m Dutch :(

Upgrading your cpu and gpu will result in upgrading litteraly everything. So you are technically gonna build a new pc. Tell us a bit more about what you do on your pc, what games you play and at what settings. The 1060 is a nice choice for 1080p gaming but we have to decide on a fitting CPU. You can pm me in dutch too if you want :)

Improving the CPU is easy, hyper threaded Xeon E3 v3s can fit on your mobo and many of them are available cheaply in the used market. No big deal.

 

I would use a used 980ti for this. New cards are outrageously expensive.

 

Dont get SSHD since it's barely faster than an HDD in real life usage but much more expensive. Get a separate HDD and an SSD (for OS)

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

I  do not plan on 4K  gaming (have 2 monitors 1680X1050 DVI , 1920X1080 VGA)

is it good to buy an 1060? of the bitcoin stuff?? ( or the other`s....) I just wanne have an bit more vid RAM like 6?
