Hey all!
So right now I have $350 disposable, which is amazing I already have quite a beast system, but I might want to take it further. Here are my current specs, then below them I'll list some ideas i had, I want to hear your suggestions too!
I use this system for heavy media encoding (i.e Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator etc) and for gaming. Oh and I also record gameplay videos and upload them to youtube, I already have a Blue Yeti microphone.
CPU: AMD FX 8350 w/ Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: Windforce Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 2 GB
RAM: 16 GB 1866 Mhz
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth 990fx
PSU: PC power and cooling silver 950w
HDD Space: 3 1 TB hard drives = 3 TB total
Case: NZXT Phantom full-size tower
So, here are some ideas I had.
1: Get a second 770, I only game on 1 1080p monitor, but if I can get 60 fps on some upcoming games like AC4 maxed out that'd be awesome. I'm willing to spend $400 on this because in the upcoming holiday bundle for the 770 I'll get AC4, Batman: Arkham Origins, and Splinter Cell: Blacklist for FREE.
2: Upgrade several, smaller things. Like geting a Noctua NHU14s for more OC'ing, get better headphones ( I only have a cheap $15 yapster headset lol)
3: Random idea: Upgrade to a intel system, probably can't do that with $350 unless I want a xeon or something, this idea isn't that good.
4: Any ideas you guys might have?
Thanks so much guys!
