Good morning all,
The time has come for me to upgrade my PC. Due to the graphics card only supporting 2 monitors, and I don't want to eat into my integrated graphics too. It sounds like a spaceship otherwise.
I am in need of a CPU, preferably Intel i5 4xxx (K) or ii7 4xxx (K) with the socket LGA 1150, as that is the motherboard I have at the moment. I currently run an Intel i3 4170 @3.7GHZ, but unfortunately it is a dual core CPU, and I want something a bit beefier to run LFS at max settings, GTA V at medium/high settings and a range of other games at medium/high settings. I was looking to get beamng.drive a few months back but it ran at 4 fps on it lol My budget for my CPU is around £150, but if needs be, £200 max.
I am also in need of a graphics card, not to expensive, but so it is compatible to run 3 monitors at once. I was looking to spend around £150-200 on the card. I thought a GTX 1060 would be good, but suggestions are appreciated.
Is it worth buying 16gb DDR3 1600MHz? as I run 8gb DDR3 1333MHz at the moment. My budget for this will be £100-£150.
All suggestions/words of advice will be appreciated greatly, as I am also moving house soon and will have some money, from my work income and possibly selling a few old PC parts, and items from my room that I no longer want.
I don't mind if the parts are slightly used, but not in too bad a condition that 6 months or a year down the line they will pack up. Is there any websites that you would recommend?
Thank you very much,
~Lose
