Hello! Thanks for clicking on this, and I hope I will be able to explain myself fully in this thread.
I am unaware as to if you can even see my computer specifications that I added to my profile, but to be on the safe side, I will proceed to post them here as well. They are the following.
CPU - Intel Core i5-4670
Cooler- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard - ASRock Z87 Extreme4
Memory - G.Skill Ares Series 8GB
HDD (2x) - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Video Card - GTX 760 Case - NZXT Phantom 410
PSU - CoolMax 750W
Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS
OS - Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Now on to the questions, and where you hopefully will be able to help me out.
*queue ramble
I built this computer during the last week of December, and I have had virtually no problems (apart from the case's fans and LEDs not turning on), and it's been truly amazing playing games on it, because it is just so fast and great.
I have noticed though, on games such as Arma, or games of the sort - that can get into extreme detail, I drop below 60 FPS when I put on Max settings. It sounds really picky, but I'd like for the computer not to ever go below 60 FPS (with VSync on, normally), just because of the almost snobby higher standards I have now for gaming. :3
I would like to upgrade the computer so that this will not happen. On this computer, I use it mostly for gaming, but I also do a lot of video editing and photo editing, as well as watch TONS of YouTube videos. I basically tried to create it so that it could handle anything I throw at it, which it does - up until it comes to the really detailed games as I have said.
I do record footage on this computer, as I do have a YouTube channel and upload gameplay to it often. I do this with little to no issues, it's hardly ever jumpy. I realize I am now rambling, and you probably want me to get to the point.
I was mainly wondering in what way I should next upgrade the system. This will be happening around December of this year, so I suppose you could take that into mind, as I assume new parts will arise in the market from here until then. As well as knowing what parts I need to upgrade, I would absolutely love to hear some suggestions of parts, what you would buy, and from what company, and all of that.
Because that was all over the place - to recap:
-I record gameplay at 1080p, and edit that footage to then upload to YouTube.
-I do photo editing with programs such as Photoshop.
-No specific budget, I'm all for performance. (I plan to overclock the CPU!)
-Buying near Christmas.
-It'd also be great if you could help me solve the case LED/Fans issue I bolded early.
I am assuming that the main parts to upgrade would be the CPU, and the video card - though it may very well be good to upgrade the motherboard - I have little to no idea, which is why I am asking.
Thank you for reading! I hope I didn't bore you too much, and I look forward to talking.
