I assembled a computer back in late 2010, early 2011. Due to military deployments, moves, etc I mainly used my laptop and this thing sat on the sidelines. I busted it back out, set it up and have it going again. It looks to me like the main outdated component that may be challeneged are the videocards, however I'm looking for opinions on what else may need to be upgraded. Any opinions I can get on the matter would be appreciated. The setup is as follows:
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 in SLI
1x Blu-Ray reader/writer
Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition six-core 3.33 Ghz LGA 1366 processor
1x Western Digital 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 6.0 Gb/s HDD for software/games
1 SATA III 128GB SSD for OS
Creative 7.1 Channel PCI-Express sound blaster x-fi Titanium
1x ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA 1366 x58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Motherboard
12GB Corsair 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 (PC3 12800)
1x XFX Black edition XPS-850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS Silver Certified modular power supply
I've got a decent amount of case fans too for cooling if a simple OC would catch this computer up to speed. I'm rusty though, fell out of touch with the upgrades so I'm playing catchup. Again, thanks for the help.
