After a week of research and changing my mind from the 650ti boost to the 7950....and now 760 or 7970? I'm at a loss and need some professional help…and advice. (Since the psychologist has a wait, I’ll look for some advice here =))
My current gaming demands are fairly low and may or may not change. I play WoW, League of Legends, and some SC2. As for my displays…I game on a 27" 1080p monitor with a secondary monitor for web browsing. I’m usually playing online for 4-6hrs per day and I’m looking at a budget of < $350USD.
Current computer specs:
Dell XPS 9100
i7 930 @ 2.80ghz
6GB Ram Win 7 64bit
Radeon 6450 (Current card)
So pretty much any card I put in there, I’m going to see a big improvement. My dilemma is, do I get the biggest baddest card for the money, with the hope to use it in my next computer? Or do I stick with something like a 650ti boost or 7950 and get a new card in 1-2 years, when I get my new computer? Heat is an issue in my room, so I would really prefer a cooler running gpu. My other thought is that it seems all of the current cards are older technology. Would it really be worth it to spend $300 on a card that may or may not be relevant in 1-2 years? One other thought is that I can go with a cheaper card, and double my cpu ram to 12gb.
Thank you, I appreciate your insight/time.
