Let me start off by saying I am fairly new to PC's and recently left the consoles. I've been a PC fan for about a year now and need to upgrade my HP Envy-1520t. I would rather not have to build a new PC from scratch (yet) but rather just add to this one. I've opened it up and installed a second hard drive and decided to do some more work.
I need a GPU that will allow me to play and record at 60+ frames using DXTORY. I'll list some of the games below. Any suggestions?
DayZ Mod (Arma 2)
DayZ Breaking Point (Arma 3)
Battlefield 4
Crysis 3
Basically high end games.
Specs:
CPU: i7 - 3770 @ 3.4ghz
GPU: AMD Radeon 8750 HD (Replacing)
2 1TB Hardrive (WD and Seagate)
600w PSU (Not sure which brand)
RAM: 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Standard HP Case
HP Envy 1520t Specs
I did do a little research on my own before asking questions. I've got a bit of a list going on and would like some input on them, but I'm willing to listen to any suggestion/ recommendations.
GTX 650
GTX 660ti
GTX 760
I was also wondering what "SLI" is, from what I've read it seems it has to do with dual graphic cards. What are the benefits of having two and is it really worth it?
Sorry it's so lengthy, just wanted the best possible answer. If anymore info is needed just post below.
EDIT:
I should add that I am only running 1 monitor at the moment and will be for quite some time, however in the future I may get another. I am also on the fence about overclocking, more leaning towards not doing it at all. I simply don't know enough and would hate to ruin a very expensive component due to stupidity.
