[Noob Qns] Making a new Rig...

[sky00sky]

Currently i am using a
i7-870 with a Asus board,
intel 120 SDD + 500gb hdd,
gtx560 Ti,
8mb ram..

Last year or so change to the GTX560ti.
Currently when i play MMO it still feels abit laggy and cannot really play in better than average settings in 1920 x 1080.

(Dual monitor all the time thou, one for play one for watching shows or on browser)

Questions.
Is it possible to make a new rig and jus put in my old SDD and expect it to work? Else i need buy windows again.

Voice of Love answered ler..NO.



If NO,

IF i wanna make a new rig and use Nivida cards
(What's the difference between those numbers 670,770,680....very confusing)


With a budget of 1000-1500 and i need help to build what can i get for the most value for money?

Will need a new OS and everything else except i will recycle the SDD.
And also future proving a few years at least , Possible?


THanks in Advance.

installing windows 8 took like 3-5min only

Wah so fast ?
My ssd I cloned one they previous installation was quite a while ago.

So 1000 - 1500 can get something proper?

I thought can reuse 500gb hdd also o.o

 

[Jian19]

Ur ram is ddr2 or ddr3 ?

Win 7 can reuse...call them, tell them ur mobo up lorry and u replaced it they will give u new set of key..

I5-4570 + Msi b85m g43 ~ $356
Ram reuse
Ssd reuse
Hdd reuse
Gigabyte 280x ~ $425
Superflower hx 600 ~ $109
Sharkoon t28 ~ $85

Total ~ $975 buy and DIY @ tradepac ask for discount...

280x (similar to gtx770 performance) is the best bang of cards now...if need to replace ram cost about $100 for 8gb ram, casing up to u if u wan other case, corsair 350d, CM storm scout 2 etc, if u wan nvidia gfx then leadtek gtx770 will fit ur budget @ $500+ (brand up to individual)

Latest gfx for nvidia starts with 7 , example gtx760, 770, 780, 780ti

Might want to give the old Rig away just in case, its working just not as intended.

D3 was okay, FFXIV (borderless window mode - high not even max) it got stressed tested even not in 1920.

Actually I think you just need a upgrade of gfx card. I am using i7 860 OC to 3.8ghz with GTX680. No problem running even BF4 at ultra at 1080P minus Anti-Aliasing.

Wow.
This is a piece of good news.
Will go dig my mobo specs and other details later at night.

But if i dual screen (usage type below) all the time a Gtx680 or R280 can cope?

Main Screen : ffxiv (usually)
Secondary Screen : 2 window of youtube / browsing.

normal usb, cos installing windows 8 is like copying of files

But just to let you know I have no issue running the latest games at max. I use downsampling instead of AA.

THanks in Advance.

i also dont think u need a complete overhual..... the i7 870 is still a pretty decent cpu

maybe just upgrade ur 560ti to something better

 

[sky00sky]

Haiz...was reading around , then came with a glimmer of hope to SLI my gtx560ti.

But mobo is a Asus P7H55D-M dun have the option.


So its either a new rig or change the GPU.

 

[sky00sky]

Finally after so long decided on getting a new one before CNY. And use my old rig to replace my 6 yr old lappy at work.


So i might need some inputs from the GUrus here.

OS = Win7 or Win 8 (Any big difference)
CPU = i5-4670
Mobo= need some recommendations on 85 vs 87 boards
Ram = RipJaw X 1600 cl9 8gb x 2
GPU = Palit gtx680 4gb (saw somewhere this is pretty cheap) or other recommendations?
PSU= ?
Casing = Fractal Midi R2
CPU cooler = ?
Casing fan =? ( do i need since i want to remove the hdd bay and mount SSD on the side)


Any BLuRay Drive Player.
SSD have a 520 from BF


Trying to get everything inside 1500 but exceed abit if i get more value can considered breaking budget abit.
