Hey guys. I'm planning to build a gaming PC for the first time. The specs are:
Core i5 3570
Gigabyte H77 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance(4x1, 2 nos.) 8 GB DDR 3 RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660
Samsung 20 Inch 1600x900 Monitor
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Corsair 550 W PSU
(Let me know if I missed out something)
I'll be making this build in about 8 months.Yeah, I know
My current Config is:
Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0 Ghz
3.5 GB DDR 2 RAM
Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT 1 GB DDR2(I think)
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. Again, I know
HP 17 Inch 1280x1024 Monitor
My question is, how long will my new PC last, assuming there's nothing better at that time at that price?Any suggestions regarding parts? I prefer an Intel-Nvidia combination, and I won't be overclocking. Also, I just bought the GTA IV Complete Collection. I want to play it, but I know it will run like crap on my current PC. Should I wait to play on my new PC, or try to play it on my current one? I ask because I've come across some guides involving command lines and text edits to make GTA IV run smoother on low end PC's too, so I'm not completely sure what to do. I can wait, but 8 months!
Sorry if this was too long or If I wasn't clear about something.
Thank you.
