So guys,
I have the following built for a couple of years..
* GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
* Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I5750
* G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model F3-
* 2 SAPPHIRE 100289L Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video ...
* CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible ...
* SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
* Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
The reason I have 2 gpu is because I work with 4 monitors, but this is not an issue anymore since I've bought a mac mini I will be using only 3 or may be 2 monitors from now on.
mainly I'm using it to work (Excel, powerpoint, photoshop and some video editing).
but some times I do play games (mainly strategic or simulation games).
for the games I feel that I have to play on default or low configuration.
So, I was thinking on investing may be $200 to improve it.
first I've found an opportunity to buy a new cpu: Intel Core i7 875K CPU 2.93GHz Unlocked Quad-Core LGA 1156 Processor for $70-80.
and I was thinking on getting a new gpu for another $100.
for the gpu I have no clue so if you could suggest me would be great.
but the main question is... do you think make sense to invest 200 on this, or should I save more money and get a complete new one? (I mean mobo-cpu, memory and gpu)
thanks in advance for the answers
