I am getting the Lenovo Idea Center K450 with the following config out the box:
- Intel Core i7 4770 (3.40GHz)
- Intel B85 motherboard
- 12GB DDR3 - 1600
- 2TB HDD Capacity
- Windows 8 (ughh)
- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 650 2GB
- ONLY 280w PSU (!!!)
1st question: would upgrading just the PSU help the GTX 650 and other PC parts perform better? I'm upgrading it anyways.
2nd question: I've been eyeing the EVGA GTX 760 & the R9 270x. I can get a good deal from a friend for either one of those.
3rd question: Is 12GB of ram enough nowadays?
4th & last question: Overclocking, can any of the above parts mentioned be safely OC'd? If so, where do I learn/read on how to do it?
My main uses will be video streaming/watching on a HDTV via the HDMI connection. But I will also be gaming on it. I want to play games like Thief, Skyrim (with mods as well), Battlefield, any of the Hitman series, and other games I may find or be interested on Steam, etc.
Any help/info would be appreciated, thanks.
