deathbycrowbar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Good choice of graphics card. I have a 5770. It's great. Edited June 23, 2010 by deathbycrowbar Quote Link to comment
CyriusG Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 A new motherboard wont really give you more performance but you may be able to overclock it some more and it maybe have some functions that you want (RAID) but it wont give a big performance boost. Quote Link to comment

Darkstar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Dont go for Core 2 Quad if you are going down that path, look at the i5 range as they have replaced the C2Q'sBut also you made a mess in my pants with the CM 690 II AdvancedEDIT:I didnt read your original post properly, I think you should upgrade the Mobo, RAM, and CPU really, it'll create a bottleneck with your system Edited June 23, 2010 by ERROR 401 Quote Link to comment
CyriusG Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Oh, so you have a motherboard with the old PCIe standard. :/ Quote Link to comment

deathbycrowbar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Oh, so you have a motherboard with the old PCIe standard. :/YesThere is only one PCIe standard...i.e PCIe. PCIe 2.0 cards work in PCIe 1.0 slots. Quote Link to comment

Doc Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Corsair VX PSU (value serie iirc) are great for the money... cheap and efficient.I own a Corsair HX 650 (pro serie), it's kinda expensive but the insane quality is worth it.Concerning the mobo, I'm an Asus fanboy so I can't really tell ^^(I've got an Asus P6T and I love it)Oh and if you have the money to spare, consider buying a SSD, the performance improvement is MASSIVE!

Clavus Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Looks like a good upgrade to combine with the stuff you already have. Go buy it. Quote Link to comment
MiF Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) imo otherwise good setup, but i strongly recommend to buy better motherboard right now. You dont wanna upgrade your motherboard everytime you buy new graph. card or CPU. Also PCIe 2.0 cards goes to PCIe slots, but then there comes big bottleneck, as ERROR said.Cooler there btw , but i use normal fans offtopic: now in other thoughts... can my computer even stand with better parts (and hotter) with only CPU fan, graph card fac, psu fan and one shell fan....

Mr. Darkness Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) As for me I would need a motherboard that wont get overhot everytime. Its just its 30 degrees in Moscow already.But yeah, good but expensive stuff.I like it. Edited June 25, 2010 by Mr.Darkness Quote Link to comment

Its just its 30 degrees in Moscow already.Fans = useless.Hey i found good graphics card for you Notte. Check this out. Check NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800... get some money and buy it. There you go with fine computer.Oh wait, your computer melts. Nvm. Edited June 25, 2010 by MiF Quote Link to comment

There you go with fine computer.Oh wait, your computer melts. Nvm.You know that Quadro is not a gaming card? It's only for CAD or 3Dsmax etc.Also tell us how much money you want to spent into your new components. A HD5770 is a decent card. But when you play games like BFBC2 or Crysis on high resolutions (like 1920x1080) with AA then it can lag. Edited June 25, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment

One thing about CPUs, i5 is duo core prosecors and as good as i7 in playing (better when we look at prices/gaming) just for you to know when bying new computer, but you need to check that Mobo supports that Quote Link to comment

And a AMD Phenom II is enough for gaming and cheap. Edited June 25, 2010 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment

Quad_Tube Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Hi Notte,Just some of my opinions along with the others..Your software requirements, budget and any salvageable hardware will determine what hardware you purchase.Can you therefore please supply the following information:-. What specific software do you wish to run?. What is your overall budget?. Your current hardware: CPU, Motherboard, PSU and case (including case cooling)?Once we establish these variables we can greatly narrow down your search for the best solution.Investing so much money and effort into squeezing extra juice out that Intel rig may not be the best practical solution, especially if there are viable alternatives that can match or exceed its performance without requiring upmarket cooling.

Tootao Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 upgrade your video cardI recommend: GeForce GTX 580 Its very good:Settings: Quote Link to comment
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 FYI this topic was made in june 2010 not 2011 so I'm guessing you're a tad late in giving Notte advice Quote Link to comment
