Desktop Upgrade

[Lasseman]

Hi guys,

My system is already some 2 or 3 years old and I was wondering if I have to upgrade some items in my system to todays standards. I really want to keep my system quite up to do date, so it will be able to run all new upcoming games in the next 2-3 years smoothly.

Here's my systems details:

Resolution 1600*900. So you can change your 5700 series card if your fps is low in latest games. Otherwise i don't think there's any need to upgrade, right now at least.

Also use CPU-Z or something similar to see system specs as MOBO and PSU wattage is necessary for users to know before they suggest you something, anyways i believe this is the system. And it has one PCI-ex 16 slot so you can't use multiple GPUs.

Great to hear that my system is rather up to date
What would you suggest as a new GPU, if I were to buy a new one.
I've added my system's specs as a .txt file.

depends on how much you have.

Given that you want a good performance for some years, I would get a more robust gpu, like a 670 or 7970

Well, I don't really want to spend over 230 euros (I think thats about 200 sterling or 270 bucks?).
