Hey! I am sure this has been asked several times, but there was never a definitive answer given.
I plan on upgrading my computer soon, and this was the order I had planned to upgrade in:
-Video Card (780Ti)
-Monitor (Same as current, 24")
-Video Card (780Ti)
-Monitor (Same as current, 24")
I currently only have one 24" monitor with a single GTX 760 "O/C Edition" in it. It's great, but when I built the computer, I was aiming for it to be able to literally play ANY game using the absolute max graphics possible, some games even with mods, at much above 60 FPS and be able to record at 60 FPS (As in recorded in 30 FPS, while I am getting 60+ FPS).
On most games, this is possible, but others even just doing the max graphics (including Anti-aliasing and such) will just get me under 60 FPS.
While this does sound like I am power crazy... because... well, I kind of am...
- I really do shoot for the stars with this rig.
Referring back to my little "upgrade plan" I wrote up there, that would be over the course of several years, as that kind of money doesn't come easy - so I was wondering if that plan is even logical, because this plan would mean:
-Next year or late this year, toss 760, get a 780 Ti.
-Late next year or the year afterwards, get another 24" monitor.
-Repeat ^ twice.
This post is all over the place, I realize - so I'll put my questions into actual questions now.
Should I go along with that plan?
Should I instead get another 760?
What else would I need to upgrade, if anything?
Following my previous question, can my system handle these upgrades?
-Keep in mind that I will most definitely be recording, and I most definitely want 60 FPS at all times.
Thank you for reading! I hope it wasn't too difficult to follow, and I will now end with my specs:
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)
