I was wondering. What would be a great set of NEW parts for my PC?
Currently I have:
FX-8320 8 Core 3.76GHz
GTX 650 Ti SSC
PNY 8 GB DDR3-1600 RAM
500 watt power supply (came standard with the tower: Mid Tower ATX Case)
1TB Hard Drive
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ AMD Motherboard
But I really wanted to upgrade. I am really just wanting to upgrade the CPU, GPU, RAM, and Motherboard.
I would think a Core i7 alongside a GTX 760-780 (new cooling fan as well) and maybe 16 GB of RAM (might just keep the same amount of RAM, not sure yet.)
What would be a great new set of parts? Similar to this? Do I even need to upgrade?
This would be for hardcore gaming as well as modeling and mapmaking for certain games.
Honestly, you're great as-is. I would wait a while before upgrading. The only thing I could tell you if you're that intent on upgrading would be to get the 770, and maybe an SSD.
What sort of budget do you have? The i7 won't really be all that useful unless you're doing some heavy rendering and modeling, so I say it's too much of a hassle to move to intel now. Get a 780 for sure and might as well upgrade to 16gb if you have the extra $70, though you won't really need the extra memory right now either, but you will in the future. Since you're planning on doing some serious upgrading later you might as well get a good PSU right now (650W+ at least). I also recommend an SSD.
Ill definitely get a 770 but what's a good SSD?
What size do you want? You can look through these: [url]http://tigerdirect.com/categories/tlc~5300/products?CatId=5300[/url]
You can get an 840 EVO 250GB right now for $140
Alright ill take a look. Thanks for the help:dance:
I highly recommend you get a new PSU now, you're asking for trouble using one that came with a case they are usually shit.
