Hi all,
I've been asked to upgrade the following on a £150-180 budget for the purpose of gaming at 1920x1080 (HD TV), RTS games from what I can gather no major FPS.
The only trouble is I'm a few years out .. of date
Current specs:
Case: SilverStone Sugo SG07
PSU: Unknown powers 480 with 2 dedicated 6 pin
Mobo: H55N-USB3
CPU: Intel Core i5 760 (stock cooler)
RAM: 4GB DDR3
GPU: GTX 480
Couple of standard HDD (1 boot and 2 RAID 1)
My initial thoughts:
Assuming decent PSU perhaps R9 270X and SSD for boot and game or two?
Sapphire Radeon R9 270 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
and
Crucial M500 120GB SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
I fear the budget isn't enough for a major upgrade and reviewing some charts the R9 270 should be a improvement!
could I do better?
