Hello everybody,
I currently have a gaming rig that's a few years old, and I believe its time to upgrade a little. I am currently looking to upgrade CPU, Motherboard, and Graphics card within a $600 - 700 budget. I hope to gain more FPS for gaming, and be able to Live stream/Record gaming session for Twitch and Youtube. If you all could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.
Current games I am playing: World of Tanks (main game), Rift, World of Warplanes, and possibly elder scrolls.
Current PC Config.
CPU: Intel Core i5-750 2.66ghz lynfield LGA 1156 (Air cooled w/ Titan Fenrir)
GPU: HIS Radeon HD 5870 2GB 256bit GDDR5 Eyefinity 6
Mobo: Asus Maximus III Formula P55
Ram: 4GB of Muskin DDR3 1600 +8Gb Gskill Ripjaws = 12gb total
SSD: Kingston HyperX 240GB (OS + Game files)
HDD: 1TB WD Blue + 500GB WD Green (Document, Music, Video etc...Storage)
PSU: OCZ Fatality 700W
O.S : Windows Vista 64-bit ( I know.... it sucks )
I have never Overclocked before, but I would like to do that with this upcoming build, and perhaps will be basing the building on the Core i5 i4670K Haswell CPU or an AMD Counterpart. Any components that will make my overclocking life easy would be appreciated (such as a software, but its not absolutely necessary). Also, is it ok for me to use the old Titan Fenrir heatsink to cool the the i4670K when i overclock it or do i need a new CPU Heatsink/cooler? If so what do you recommend for relatively cheap? Lastly, should i wait for the AMD r9 270x card coming out? What current cards in the market would that be comparable to?
Thank you all in advance.
