Hi Sifus,

When my friend give me his GTX 780 i upgrade the psu to support the card, but lately i think the card is faulty my pc always hang or cant detect the card when i boot my pc.
i7 - 2600K gigabyte G1.sniper 2 Asus GTX780 8gb ddr3 - crossair vengennce 8gb ram 120gb intel SSD 1tb x2 hdd Evga supernova 750 G+
is my pc still upgradable or build a new rig better? 1 of my 1TB also having some problem probably gonna be replace lol.
Budget around 6-8k? Mostly gaming and a lot of tab in chrome/ firefox. would like to go for at least i7 and 1070.
Please advise me Thank you

Too old. not worth the upgrade...
I will recommend you to build new rig. All your hdd relegate to backup drive... buy new ssd for OS. do not use back old device as primary system.
The only thing i allow u to use back is the casing and the new PSU... other then that change everything.

QUOTE(GenDevil @ Apr 16 2018, 02:58 PM) Sorry, Budget and purpose of usage updated Wew with that budget you can just sell off your old rig and rebuild from scratch. Or you can upgrade some of the major parts but keep the power supply, HDD and SSD.

Looks like the only reusable items are the PSU and SSD. Your motherboard is using the Z68 chipset which to my knowledge only supports up to the i7-37xx series.
For 6-8K looks like budget isn't a problem for getting a capable new system.
Since Ryzen2 is coming soon and is better performance wise than Intel's current offerings you can consider that. Or if you want to save more, can look for people who are letting go of their first gen Ryzens as they upgrade (some good deals might be had there) later this month.
GPU prices are on a downward trend currently (but are still very inflated) so you might want to hold off on buying a GPU first unless you spot a good deal.

Yup. You can plug in 2 monitors for any graphic cards today. Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 is RM1168 though. Unless you wanna go SATA like Samsung 850 Evo 500GB at RM724. EVGA 750W is plentiful for GTX 1080.

If you don't OC, Coolermaster Hyper 212 LED at RM169 should do. Should not go cheap casing since you are going high end. Maybe RM300ish case will do.

QUOTE(Baesuji @ Apr 20 2018, 05:22 PM) Any preference in casing? Some popular mid tower choices are NZXT S340 Elite, Phanteks P400, Corsairs 460x/570x P.S if you have the budget, the Corsairs case would be pretty sick. thanks for the recommendation, i think i will go for corsair casing.. looks nice
