Alright, so I'm upgrading my computer because I've got some extra cash and my cpu is dying and is outdated. So here is my current build, [img]http://i.imm.io/1lHrQ.png[/img] And I'm thinking about adding all this [img]http://i.imm.io/1lHQ7.png[/img] I need a new motherboard for the cpu and I dont know what to get or if my power supply can take it (750w) so could anyone help me with that? Or are those parts even compatible? thanks
whats your budget
[QUOTE=Death_God;43093643]whats your budget[/QUOTE] Around $700
750 watts can take two 770s, don't worry. A 6350 is worse than a haswell i3 for gaming. This will give you all around better performance: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Om4n[/url]

HD7970 GHz Edition (or just OC HD7970) == R9 280x. The only thing you'll be missing is the mantle API, assuming they haven't backported it already.

Oh wow, the price of the R9 280X rose about $50. The GTX 770, if you can get it for a bit cheaper, will be a suitable replacement.
