Ask the Experts: I need a hand upgrading my PC, what should I do next?

By: (more) | Computer Systems News | Posted: Feb 18, 2013 5:24 am

Our Ask the Experts section has a new question, with Kimir wanting to upgrade his already awesome PC with something new.

 

TweakTown's Ask the Experts

 

Q: [lots of system specs]

 

I plan on upgrading my motherboard to the ASUS Maximus V Formula Z77 for better OC of my 2600k, purchasing a single 6970 for Tri-fire, then possibly getting a premade liquid cooling system for my CPU.

 

If I do what I described above, will I see a significant performance boost? Is this a good decision, or should I sell my 6990, not purchase a 6970, and get another GPU?

 

Also, what liquid cooling system (premade) would you recommend (Swiftech 220) for overclocking 5 ghz, or would you stick to the Coolermaster V8?

 

A: You can view the answer to Kimir's question right here.
