Hi everyone
I am new here at tomshardware. The pc i am going to list below was my first pc i ever built a few years ago and i believe it is time to do some upgrading on this thing if at all possible. I have a few questions i will list below. Any help or advice will be greatly appriciated.
Main system usage:
I currently use this system mostley for gaming and drawing 2D & 3D drawings via Autocad and Inventor. My current situation runs just fine with no isses but due to the extremely now outdated graphics card it is having a hard time keeping up in the latest game titles.
My upgrade thoughts:
My currecnt thoughts are to keep the Cpu & Motherboard combo i have now. Upgrade to either the new line of Radeon 9000 cards coming out at the end of this month or beginning of next month or ugrade to a single nividea 770 or run two 760's in SLI. Also i would upgrade the hard drive to a 128g samsung 840 pro series.
My Concerns:
My currenct concerns are i do not want to create a bottle neck in the system. I think i should be ok with my current CPU and MB situation until the next generation of processors come out. I would like to hear you guys thoughts on that. Also would you have any recommendations on any other parts to be upgraded or changed instead of the ones i have listed. I have not decided on a certain brand of graphics cards yet that i have listed above but i really like the EVGA product lines that are out.
Current Sytem:
CPU: Intel I-7 930 2.8 Ghz LGA 1366 socket Overclocked to 4.0 Ghz
GPU: HIS Radeon HD 5850
MotherBoard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
PSU: Corsair 850w
HD: 1TB western digital caviar black
RAM: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 Triple Channel Kit Model F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
OS: Windows 7
Case: Coolermaster not sure which one but its fullsize and has plenty of room.
Any help wouls be greatly appriciated.
