Whats up guys, I'm here to ask for some advice on weather its worth the money to upgrade my old Rig or just sell it and build one from the ground up.
Some Back Story: So about 3 years ago I had to move out of my home into a smaller place for personal reasons so I had to store a whole lot of my stuff, one of them being my Computer. I bought a decent "Gaming" Laptop, because no one wants to go without gaming right?
Its actually a really good Laptop, I've been using it since then and its held up incredibly well. Recently, I was able to move in to a bigger place and have room for an actual Comp
I know you might think, "But you already have a "Decent Gaming Laptop" why buy a whole new set up?" Well, my laptop is great, but I know its got nothing on an actual gaming build.
So to the point of this thread..
My old build:
Operating System:
Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium
CPU Type:
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor
CPU Speed:
2.92 GHz
System Memory:
4 GB
Video Card Model:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560ti
Video Card Memory:
2.72 GB
Power Supply:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W
Desktop Resolution:
1920 x 1080
Hard Disk Size:
931.41 GB
Would it be worth it to Upgrade this setup to run new games at the highest settings possible to run smoothly?
or make some pocket money and sell this to build a completely new rig?
I have a decent budget of around $2k for upgrading, or $2k + whatever I would make from selling this old rig to build a new one.
Man, that was alot of typing... I sincerely appreciate all of you guys' help on this.
