Hi all!
I'm wanting to upgrade my gaming pc as its getting pretty outdated. I'm currently running a Phenom II X4 850, with a GT 440 and 8 GB RAM. I tend to play skyrim and generally hit about an average of 22 fps on medium to high settings. (I know that's dreadful!)
The graphics card I'm thinking of getting is the GTX 660, but if anybody has any advice to give on this I'll gladly take it into account!
However, my main concern is what CPU to get. Everybody seems to prefer the i5-3570k, but my budget isn't that huge and if I go for an i5 it means getting a new motherboard as well. I am assuming my current motherboard will handle the fx-8350, it being a GA-770T-D3L. Please correct me if I am wrong in this assumption!
So any help would be much appreciated. I'm aiming to build the PC so that it can play games such as Skyrim or the upcoming Elder Scrolls: Online at a decent framerate on high to max settings.
