Well I just bought another set of 8Gb of ram so I will have a total of 16gb because I thought I will upgrade the cheaper stuff first plus why the hell not.

Yeah, why not? smile.gif I remember a few years back, my brother only bought 2gb of ram, because it was just enough at the time. The computer became useless after two years or so tongue.gif

Just a good chip. I don't have to ramp up the voltage either for ~4,4-4,6 smile.gif Over 5 though, I have to use 1,2-1,3 :/

Anyone got any good Fan controllers I'm thinking about getting one.
post #28 of 32
This is what I would upgrade, in order of importance
  • 64GB-128GB SSD
  • New GPU (7950 seems to be the best bang/buck card right now)
  • A single 1440p monitor
  • Case
  • Watercool (real watercooling not the all-in-one kits)
  • Peripherals, fan controller, etc...

I mean water cooling sounds good and all but I don't think I have the time or the money not to get a all in one package plus I'm not having any problems with cooling to really need to mess around with customizing my own loop and so forth, but I will be getting a "Corasair H100" and a new case being this one "Corsair Carbide 500R" and a SSD I will probably get these all in one bunch. I'm not to sure about the graphics card though Id prefer to stick with Geforce because I'm like that.

TBH AMD cards are a far better value for money right now. But 560 Ti is fine for 1080p. thumb.gif
