Current System:
CASE: Antec 300
CPU: i7 930
MOBO: GB X58A-UD3R
GPU: ASUS 5770
RAM: G.Skill 6GB (Tri)
HSF: Noctua U12P-SE2
PSU: Corsair HX650
SSD/HDD: Intel 520 / 1.5tb of storage
Okay, so I mainly use my computing for gaming at 1080p (work, surfing, etc) at the moment I am considering two options:
- Sell off my current parts (kept PSU, drives and HSF) and build this:
CASE: Fractal Design Mini
CPU: i5 3570K
MOBO: GB G1 Sniper M3
GPU: ASUS 670
RAM: Corsair 8GB
HSF: SAME
PSU: SAME
SSD/HDD: SAME
- Upgrade my current system to this:
CASE: Fractal Design R4
GPU: GB 670
I/O: USB3 PCIe (gives internal USB3 header)
I want to change my case to something more quiet and that has better cable management (other suggestions for case are welcome).
The new system will probably cost ~$200 more than upgrading my current system (after selling current parts). I am also thinking that if I wait for another few years my current parts wont have any resale value.
Which option do people think would be best? Thanks.
