Do you really need that powerful a PC ? What games do you play, whats your budget ?

**MacD91** · 26-12-11, 23:33

Well i play all the usual games battlefield 3/americas Army . Buget is about £2500 as i will put it through the company
and clam back the VAT... but i have not been keeping up to date with whats coming soon... is there anything i might wait a month or so
for.. Looked at some benchmarks and my spec seems a little low now... thats why i am thinking about an upgrade..

New AMD 7000 Series coming out next month BUT 2 GTX580's is more than enough for any games coming out in the next year, even 2 in some cases.

Wow do you really need to upgrade that yet surely your system is not struggling ?

**liamnic2** · 26-12-11, 23:40

I would suggest this. It can blast through any game you have but is just £2522, got 3d nvidia set since you got 3d monitor.

I would say wait at least until new amd gpu's are released.

**Wozza365** · 27-12-11, 10:36

2 460s should easily plough through any game at ultra settings

you could easily keep your system for a few more years and you would still be getting high/ultra on most new games

**tom_gr7** · 27-12-11, 12:24

i'd wait till about feb mate, after the new amd cards are out and time for them to be reviewed and tested.

**Wozza365** · 27-12-11, 12:33

id wait even longer than that for the new nvidia cards as well, then you can see which cards are best
