Was thinking of upgrading my GPU in the very near future and thought I might ask some advice here.
Current specs are as following:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @2.67GHz
RAM: 4 GB Dual-Channel
GPU: MSI AMD Radeon 7750 2GB, slightly overclocked
MOBO: Gigabyte EX58-UD5
HDD(s): 3 250GB in RAID 0
PSU: Nexus 900W
Bought from a friend so don't ask me about oddities.
Also if its possible could I upgrade without changing mobo because I dont know how to build a PC, especially the wiring part.
My budget is about 450EUR and I live in Estonia
For 450 euro I would just update the GPU to an Amd 7950 or Nvidia 770 and get 4gb more ram. (2x2gb)
The CPU is on the edge but should still be sufficient.
I was doubting about the PSU quality but apperently ist alright.

Can I overclock the CPU to 3 GHz or so?
Yes you can if you get a better cooler. (like the hyper 212)
Note that you also need to apply new thermal paste and remove the old stuff.
