    Hi,

    Considering selling some parts to fund a refresh.

    Selling the following

    Gigabyte z77x-d3h
    Core i5 3570k
    HD 7850
    Bitfenix Shinobi Case

    or May just sell the 7850 to upgrade to gtx970

    What u think?

    To be honest, I dont see any point in selling that cpu/mobo combo. The costs and hassle will bring stupidly low increases in performance. That CPU overclocked can be even faster then refreshed version overclocked. Its all about silicon lottery.
    Just sell gpu and get better one. Job done.

    I was thinking that alright, most differences are in tdp I guess.

    Was thinking of selling parts to do a colour co-Ord build in a Nzxt h440, red/black. Not original I know but still. Was gonna go msi route and an nzxt kraken 61 cooler. Wondered what kinda value was In what I had. Keeping the ram, ssd, hdd psu and sound blaster z
