Hey guys, need a little bit of help here as I have been out of the game for quite sometime now with computers. My current build is currently 5 years old and is running a E8500 Intel Core Duo with 4GB of Ram and a Nvidia 9800 GTX+. The reason I want to upgrade is that newer games can't keep up on this PC. I'm looking at a 1500$ budget for my new computer and something that will last me for the next 4 to 5 years as this one did.
Here are some questions I have:
I have an old creative audigity sound card as well because I have a nice set of Logitech 5.1 speakers so would you suggest I get a new sound card or is onboard sound improved?
I will be using only one monitor at the moment so would going above 2GB on a graphics card be worth it?
I would need bluetooth/wireless; should I get a card or find a motherboard with it?
Is there a major difference between I7 and I5 systems? Should I go with the 3rd Gen or 4th Gen?
Is it worth getting a SSD? Are they easy to install?
It's been awhile and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Robert
