Hi all, I currently have an amd motherboard and obviously amd cpu, a gtw 660ti card, 8gb of ram, 600 watt power supply and a few hard drives. My case is a cyborg x.
Im looking to update my motherboard, cpu, graphics card, power supply and get some more ram. Ive been looking at the new 2011 motherboards and therefore the 2011 cpu's, mostly the 3820.
My main purpose for the computer is gaming and pretty solid gaming as im a sucker for visuals and my desire is to run planetside 2 on ultra.
Ive also been looking at the 3770k which would also mean that i get the older motherboard as well. I know i want to definitely get a gtx 680, a power supply of at least 800w, and another 8gb of ram, but i cant decide between the 3770k or the 3820, which would also affect which motherboard i got. This also brings up the concern that am i able to swap the components straight out from amd to intel without and hassle to my software? Also are the 2011 motherboards the same size as my current asus one and therefore will it fit in my current case or will i need to update it?
Some help and answers would be muchly appreciated.
So my main concerns are will my current case be big enough for the 2011 motherboard if i decide to get it or will i have to update my case and if so, to what case? Is the 3770k and its mobo better to get than my other option for intense gaming? Will an 800 to 1000 watt be able to fit into my case? Can i simply swap out my amd mobo and cpu for intel?
Any help would be muchly appreciated!!!
