My current system, running on an E4500/4GB DDR2 and some nameless motherboard, is obviously pretty useless for modern gaming (GT 520 OC'd card).
So, I was hoping to get an opinion on my new system. I have a few brand loyalties, as stupid as that sounds. I stick to Intel processors, and NVidia GPUs.
Let's begin.
CPU: i3 3220. Because 4th generation i3 processors just focus on power saving and not the power I need.
MoBo: ASRock Z77 Pro 3.
PSU: Corsair VS550.
GPU: NVidia GTX 650 Ti Boost.
RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance @1600MHz.
Monitor: 1366x786.
SSD: 64 GB Kingston.
I've got 2.5 TB conventional storage.
I will be gaming, folding, and in designing 3D in Blender/SketchUp. I may delve into Photoshop.
Most importantly, I want performance in comparison to power consumption, and a system useful life of around 3-4 years. I will buy this system possibly in October or slightly earlier.
