So I want to upgrade my PC. I can only spend a maximum of ~£400. What would give me the greatest performance increase for the money?

Current rig:
Intel i5 something-k @ 3.3ghz OC'd
nVidia GTX 570 1GB VRAM
8 GB DDR3 Ram
Asus ROG motherboard
3 trillion USB ports

That's already a very fast computer... what do you need the performance upgrade for?

Because he plays Minecraft and TF2 and has to be ub3r1337.

Got my laptop back from repairs!

Depends on the specs of your PC currently.

Oops, I read that wrong. Upgrade the RAM. Get all 1600MHZ DDR3, unless it already has it. That processor can take alot and 8GB is way under what it could use.

1) A very annoying 'friend' of mine decided to purchase a gaming PC after I did, and he has a GTX 680 in his. I would very much like to 1-up him.

2) I probably won't be able to run Crysis 3 on ultra at 60FPS

3) I have nothing else to spend it on. =P

@HA
So should I get 2 more 4gb sticks?

and goddamn no you don't need four more sticks of ram that's a waste of money and it only effects performance on a marginally small scale. 8 gigs is fine.

You can get four 8GB sticks...

And since when do you see TRB using common sense when upgrading? He must have DA BESTEST COMPOOTER.

TRB: Get four 4GB or 8GB sticks of 1600 MHZ DDR3 and see if that tickles your fancy.

Scratch that link...

http://www.ascendtech.us/16gb-ddr3-2x8gb-1600mhz-pc3-12800-memory_i_memd31600m162x8.aspx

That one would be a better deal. Then just buy a single stick of 8GB 1600 MHZ DDR# to go with it.

I don't care about your opinion because it doesn't have any effect.

[Badger]

God damnit Jonzu, take a chill break and stop being so confrontitive. This is what gets everyone pissed off at you in the first place. If it doesn't have any effect, then there is no need to exclaim it to the world, because it just causes more pointless bitching.

On the flip side, trying to play the "look at me guys I'm cool because I smoke weed" card is only going to make people hate you even more than before.

(and yes, it really is possible.)

[madman3]

Give it a break fellas. It's not worth a fight.

My honest opinion is the RAM. Get more, and get better quality. Stay away from the 933 MHZ in a gaming machine.
