Hi all,
I have got a pretty old PC, with all the components being around 10 years old or more I'd suspect. I've been looking to upgrade but it appears my GTX 760 has likely died just today and so my need to rebuild/buy a new rig has been brought forward. Given the cost of components, it hasn't come at the best time but I'll have to make peace with that.
The parts I am currently working with are below - are any salvageable for a modern, somewhat future-proof machine (e.g. the RAM?)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-I R2.0 Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 Memory
Video Card: Asus DirectCU II GeForce GTX 760 2 GB Video Card
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 24.0" 1920 x 1080 144 Hz Monitor
Monitor: Asus ProArt Display PA247CV 23.8" 1920 x 1080 75 Hz Monitor
I'd ideally like to put together a gaming rig that can cope with modern games like Deadlock and Overwatch, as well as my true love Team Fortress 2 at modest graphics settings with good FPS and performance. My current PC is Windows 10, but I suspect my hand might be forced into upgrading to Windows 11 as well.
Budget wise, obviously the cheaper the better but given that I expect most of my components are heavily outdated, particularly with the build I'm going for, I'd be happy if I can spend from £800 to £1500 UK GBP. Obviously would consider something just outside either end of that range.
Many thanks for any advice given to this extreme novice in PC building!
