Hey! I'm slowly upgrading my computer to get a decent machine. Here's my actual config: Asrock H81m-DGS R2.0 I5 4460 3.2ghz 8go ram Sapphire 5770 hd Vapor-x 1GB Unofficial Windows 7 ultimate version The first thing I've planned on upgradiung is the GPU, I originally wanted a rx480, but my brother is upgrading his PC with a rx480, and he'd like to sell me his actual Sapphire 7970 vapor x - 3go gddr5, for about 70€, yeah we sold stuff to our familly in my familly, does it worth it ? This GPU is actually quoted around 100€. I should run BeamNG well better with it, expecially since I upgraded my monitor. The second and thrid thing I'd like to buy is an OEM version of Windows 10 pro (https://www.amazon.fr/Windows-10-Pro-OEM-64Bit/dp/B0119SQFF0), My computer need a good reinstalation anyway. And with that an SSD, probably a 120go (Only for Windows), Something a Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120 Go, If you have suggestions I don't know luch on SSD. I know I won't be able to re-install my W10 key on an other Hard-Disck since it's an OEM verison, but I'm probably not going to change the SSD before a long time. And it would probably last long enough before beiing outdated After that I might have to updgrade my computer case, even if mine isn't bad by any mean, (at least for the price I paid it) (about 30€) (Aerocool V3X Advance Evil Blue). There's no more places for fans, and with the new GPU, I'm a bit scared my thing's going to overheat, I'll need to make test to know. If you have any great cases suggestions ^^, the SilverStone Redline RL06 Pro seemed like a good price/quality ratio for the number of fans in it. I know I should upgrade my Mother board, since it's a micro-ATX, and still use a LGA1150 socket, but that mean I would have to change my CPU, what I can't do. Excluding the case, those upgrade should cost me about 200€, and they will give obvious better perfomance / optimisation result. If you have any suggestions, ideas, opinions, comments...
Definitely get the 7970 for that price. Still a great GPU, it will work for a few more years before needing an upgrade. Plus if your brother was the original owner, if anything goes wrong, an RMA should work easily.
Even better! According to userbenchmark, a RX 480 is only 36% faster than a 7970. The 7970 is a great card for the price you can get it at. Plus that is a great cooler. I have an extra windows pro key, if you want it I'll PM it to you. It is legit, and since you make the forums a better place, I feel you deserve it.
