Update 955BE / GTX460


Hope you don't mind if I pick your brains with this upgrade question and jump right into the template.

1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?
roughly 500 EUR but willing to spend more if it's worth it or less if I don't have too
(So Basicly best bang for buck and playability)

I'll probably go pick up the parts so that would be incl BTW (taxes) and no shipping.

2. Where do you live?

Belgium -> I'll be buying from www.alternate.be most likely

3. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)?

Planetside 2 ofcourse!

4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts.

Probably: CPU (+Cooler) + GPU

5. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so please say what parts specifically.

Think I'll mostly be upgrading my CPU and GPU
Rest:
2x 4GB DDR 1600 MHz
ASrock 880G Extreme3 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880G%20Extreme3/?cat=CPU)
1TB HDD
Antec Truepower TP-650

6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?
I have two screens:
1x 27inch 2560 x 1440 (Would be nice to be able to play on this one)
1x 23inch 1920 x 1080

7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

I have Windows 7 Home 64-bit already.

8. What are you looking for the motherboard to have feature wise? Like SLI, Crossfire, Firewire, USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 Gb/s, and so on.

/ : I'd prefer to re-use the 880G Extreme3 for ease of upgrade

9. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU?

Yes if I can, my 955BE could only go from 3.2 to 3.4 before having stability issues: Might need a better cooler
(Mugen II on it now)
Would just do it slightly though, I'm not planning on going heavy on the voltage/cooling/...

10. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts?

Within a week preferably, so I can get the parts by next weekend


Cheers,
Greenthy
