current build:
Phenom II 965 X4 - OC'd sometimes to 4.2 GHz Been blue screening so set everything to stock settings 3.4 GHz
- 4GB corsair DDR2
- 150GB WD HDD
- EVGA GTX 560 Ti - OC'd profiles for gaming
- Corsair H60 cooler
- Antec Earthwatts 650 PSU
- Gigabyte 790x-UD4P motherboard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking to replace everything except my case, corsair H60 cooler, PSU and GPU.
So through lots of research comparing bang for buck, price/performance, longevity, and the ever present, daunting feeling of making sure you're future-proofalicious for hopefully a few years...I've come to the following conclusion about what to upgrade now, and then in a few weeks i can upgrade my GPU when i get more money
I have 2 questions basically:
1) For upcoming games like BF4, gta 5, watchdogs, and other awesome titles, I'm wondering what GPU would be a good buy (in combination with the components listed in my second question below) to max out these such games and others like Metro LL, Crysis 3, witcher 2 and upcoming witcher 3, etc. at 1920x1080 resolution
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) deciding on these listed below to buy soon. I OC , not extremely, just nice little boost running stable lowish temps 24/7. hoping to get 4.2-4.5 on the i5-3570k.
-CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
-ASRock Z77 Extreme4
- Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
-Intel i5-3570k CPU
All these sum to 518 on newegg before shipping+tax
sum to 508 on Amazon - free shipping w/ prime
Seems i'm not going to buy on newegg for the first time ever lol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Think my earthwatts 650 Watt will be enough? assuming i already the CPU/GPU/MOBO/RAM/HDD
