July 2, 201312 yr Author You are not going to see much of a difference when compared to your old PC. The difference will be about 2 frames. How about the one featured on this site: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-372-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475 It's much more in my budget but not sure if I would lose a lot of performance compared to my old one... what do you think?
July 2, 201312 yr How about the one featured on this site: http://www.overclock...d=43&catid=2475 You would see a decrease in performance compared to your current build. Sandy Bridge, and Nvidia's 500 series of cards, still work quite well. Ryan L.
July 2, 201312 yr Author You would see a decrease in performance compared to your current build. Sandy Bridge, and Nvidia's 500 series of cards, still work quite well. I thought that would be the case... Is there any sites online other that pcspecialist and overclockersuk which you would reccommend for having a PC custom built and OC'd?
July 2, 201312 yr I know most of the US ones so sorry. Do you still have your old PC, or did something happen to it? Also, what is your budget? Ryan L.
