Approximate Purchase Date: This week!
Budget Range: Flexible, I can always spend more if people think it's smart for me to (will get a lot of value out of my money), and am always willing to spend less if people think that I can still get the performance that I want out of this system.
I would feel better spending less then $500 if possible, though.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: DotA 2 and CS:GO
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, Mobo, more RAM, GPU. Current PSU is Corsair 750TX 750W ATX12V/EPS12V
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg
Location: Bay area (CA, USA)
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: If it makes sense money/performance wise (and if it will be cool enough in my case)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
The whole story:
My Mobo broke (confirmed it with the computer store), and I have been wanting to upgrade my computer anyways. Here are my current specs:
Windows 7
4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 RAM 240pin 1600 (PC3 12800)
Corsair 750TX 750W ATX12V/EPS12V psu
samsung spinpoint f3 1TB SATA internal hdd
ASRock 880G extreme3 am3 amd mobo (broken)
antec 300 illusion ATX mid tower case
HIS radeon HD 5850 1GB 256bit GDDR5 PCIe 2.1x16 gpu
amd athlon II X3 440 3.0GHz socket AM3 95W cpu
I play only two games: DotA 2 and CS:GO. DotA 2 ran perfectly fine on my current specs, but I want to upgrade to something that can run CS:GO with a higher fps. My current fps was ~50-80 and I'm looking for something that can run it at 100-200 depending on the money I would have to spend. I don't want the game to go below 60 fps at any given time if possible. (I noticed a huge difference between CSGO and the older CS games, which made CSGO much less enjoyable to play).
I was planning on upgrading the cpu, gpu, a new Mobo of course, maybe some additional RAM if needed, (also I should know if my PSU would be good enough for my upgraded parts).
I know nothing about hardware specs and performance, so that's why I am here. What do people recommend I get? Thanks!
