Improving current CPU

[muhaimin0701]

Hi, IT experts, I am thinking of improving my current CPU but I am not a pro on these IT stuffs. From my very minimum knowledge, I know that I need to change my GPU. I am all ears to advice. Thanks.

Specs:

Mainboard : Gigabyte Z77-D3H
Chipset : Intel Ivy Bridge
Processor : Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3500 MHz
Physical Memory : 8192 MB (2 x 4096 DDR3-SDRAM )
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 SE
Hard Disk : Hitachi HDS721050DLE630 ATA Device (500GB)

Thanks for the advice. I want to make an improvement to my PC as I want to ensure that I am able to play future released games with little problem.

Another qn is, for GPU, does it matter if 1 is DDR3 or DDR5?

Budget?

The only upgrade you should look at is new gpu and add in a new SSD.

Budget max $800, but if I delay my purchases, I can save up more.

The biggest improvement u can see/feel is adding of SSD.

then theres no reason to get a gpu now, buy only when you need it

ssd would make a bigger difference for you now

Okay, thanks for the advice. Seems like the main thing to upgrade here is just to get SSD. Can I DIY by myself or should I just let the shop do it for me?

Easy to diy. Just install to your HDD cage( using a 2.5" to 3.5") adapter. then plug in a sata cable and molex cable for power.

unclear just google some video. Suggest you to reinstall the OS onto the SSD. in the bios remember to set to boot from the SSD drive.

1. SSD
2. Get cooler and overclock you CPU. (why you get a K-processor and not overclocking it? Your mobo is an overclocking mobo too so no need change anything except getting a proper cooler.)
3. GPU (GTX 760 if you can get it for 350-400 sgd, 7950 or depends on your budget.)

Ok. Thanks for the tips. I have been checking videos on installing SSD. It is just like installing normal HDD.

Ok. Thanks for the advice. The problem is that when I bought my mobo along with the processor, it was on e advice of a friend who said he will help me overclock. But now he will not be in Singapore for a good 4 years... And I do not have e courage to overclock it on my on.

Give you a link for a overclocking guide. Great Tech guy that I have been following.
