SpikeSoprano Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 IMO the pc you have now is good enough, you could upgrade your video card but if you just use a 1080 single monitor there is not really even much point in that. The newer intel cpu's are more of a side grade than an upgrade unless you do heavy video editing on a professional level where time is a factor.I would wait for the next generation of cpu's and see what that brings to the table.

Well , i guess i could wait up on upgrading my CPU . Was thinking of switching to 4k gaming , so maybe a 290 or 780 for gpu would do the work? Yeah, maybe a new motherboard and a fair 240GB SSD and you're set with that machine. What good places are to buy from in the greecey part of the world? A samsung 840 evo 256 is on my list Also the prices here in Greece aren't all that bad , at most things are 20-30 quints more expensive than the rest of Europe.
