    Here is my current PC, good few years old now. Was thinking of upgrading,any suggestions?
    It already has an SSD also. I'm guessing jsut gfx card would be best. I game on 1440p.

    I have the same mobo and cpu and I would normally get the upgrade itch after 3 years but I haven't felt the need to this time around due to how good the i5-2500k is

    So yeah just a GPU upgrade should do you going forward, I got an R9 390 late last year which will do if I take the plunge and go VR

    Yeah I'd just like to know what's best value at mid range to upper range really and go for that.

    At 1440p a GTX970 or R9 390.

    A GTX560 at 1440p must be pretty painful!

    Some very cheap R9-290s being sold on adverts recently; if you don't mind wearing headphones when you game.

    560ti seems to run things great on my 27 inch 1440p but I don't play things with the most cutting edge graphics, I'm only upgrading due to well, I want to and a gfx card in the us may be cheaper :D

    Defo go that route, I had my eyeball on an i5 4690k for about 3 months on Amazon, never went down only by maybe a tenner here and there...

    Saved 50 quid getting my parents to pick it up via MicroCenter in the US when they were there in November....
