Rig upgrade advice

[asdfpo]

Hi all,
might need to upgrade my rig to get a new gpu, so need some advice.
i think mainly mobo and gpu need to upgrade nia..
not planning to oc at all, playing mostly dota2, ocassionally will play some FPS, thinking of getting titanfall after upgrade. need something to run smoothly no need super high end stuff.
budget about 500-800 for mobo+cpu+gpu, cheaper better la

intel i5 2500 with msi p67a-c45 (b3)
kingston 4gb ddr3 x 2
gigabyte gtx 560 1gb ti oc edition
samsung 1tb
seasonic at650w
crucial 64gb sata3 ssd

thanks

If u get powercolour 290 which is at $499, then you are left with $300 for cpu+mobo or mobo if u r nt planning to change ur cpu. if so, i think you have better chance of scouting the marketplace for 2nd hand mobo which still support SB.

Also, what case u using? Need see if length of gpu can fit in.

Dun based on your thoughts. Go google the gpu length and ikonik EN2 max gpu length support. Worst case, is get 2nd hand mobo and new chassis.

cant really find it only found the case dimensions 200 mm x 430 mm x 480 mm, which is enough to fit the card 266.65mmx111.2mmx38mm.

anw looking at the pice lists, some mobo+cpu bundle 300-400, i can maybe stretch my total
budget to ~900, any recco for the mobo+cpu bundles?

If you are not gonna buy full rig, do add $30 for cpu+mobo bundle.

Also, i saw that for the review of EN2, they used 5870 gpu. That was 10.75" or 275cm. The powercolour 290 PCS+ is at 266mm, so it may fit.

But, your case is quite old, so best is to change it. Fractal design arc midi r2 would be sufficient as it can accomodate more than 300mm length gpu and only cost $129.

gpu = $499
Case = $129 (maybe can bargain lower)

mobo + cpu = $272.
