Hello, I just recently received my GTX 760 and installed it. I have a
*Q9550 cpu(stock)
*4GB ram(ddr2-533)
*750W ps
My dilemma is if I should purchase a 8GB set of DDR2-1066 and overclock my Q9550 to reduce the bottleneck from my GTX 760 or go with a new setup. I'm not even sure purchasing $150 in DDR2 would make a difference in games like BF4, Crysis 3, etc.
If I chose to upgrade I have had my eyes on:
AMD setup-$360 total
FX-8320, G.Skills DDR3-2133, and ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0.
Intel setup-$413 Total
I5-4670k, G.Skills DDR3-2133, and ASRock Z87 Extreme3.
Sorry if I'm all over the place, this is my first forum post.
Thanks!
