September 9, 201411 yr Hi guys, I am thinking about upgrading my spec to: I7-2600K overclcoked to ~4.5 GHz EVGA Z77FTW 1155 Motherboard Kingston 4x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz HyperX Blu Dual Channel CL9-9-9-27 and CPU water cooler. Currently i am runnng with : I5-750 overclocked to 4 GHz Asus P7P55 motherboard 2X2GB G.Skill F12700 GPU-Asus GTX 560 TI Would i see some improvement over my current spec or my GPU will limit the performance?

September 9, 201411 yr The sandy CPU is a very good processor, but if you are going to upgrade, why would you go to a already obsolete generation? (Just curious). As far as your ram is concerned, I would go with 2x8 rather than 4x4, apparently more stable. Regards, Rick Hobbs

I was thinking about this option cause i don't have possibility to buy now all new system and thought to upgrade with second hand offer. Gregory Gregory Verba
September 9, 201411 yr Hi Rick, Thanks for your answer. I was thinking about this option cause i don't have possibility to buy now all new system and thought to upgrade with second hand offer. Gregory From an economical point of view I see your point. As long as the used CPU etc is sound, you can't go wrong with a 2600k/2500k, they are great processors in my opinion. I have two rigs, one of which is a 2600k setup that I use for my other passion; F1 racing simulation and it still performs very nicely.Regards, Rick Hobbs
