Hi all,
As the thread title suggests I'm looking to upgrade my current setup.
I built my current setup back in 2015 and its served me well, but since lockdown its been getting a lot more use (Elite Dangerous / Planet Zoo with a small amount of web browsing) Its become evident that whilst it still works, its falling behind the times when it comes to performance. Especially with some of the more recent releases having minimum recommended systems greater than what I'm currently running. I don't want to get to a point where I download a game and find it doesn't run correctly.
Current Build includes...
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming MoBo
Intel I5 5600
16GB DDR4 Ram
MSI Geforce GTX 980 GPU
Corsair H100i AIO
1TB SSD
2TB HDD
Superflower Leadex Gold 550w PSU
I'm looking to spend about £700-800 to bring it kicking and screaming into the present. The bits I'm looking to update are the MoBo, Graphics Card and CPU. I believe the H100i is cross platform so can be used on an AMD or intel Chip and the RAM is still good. If the PSU needs upgrading then so be it
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
