My old Dell XPS Studio needs replaced as it just doesn't make sense to keep dumping more money into a 6 year old computer. So I am going to put together my own computer with a budget (with minitor) of $1,600. My main purpose with this computer will be gaming (play Eve with maybe 2 clients at the same time).
Here is roughly what I have right now in my Dell:
CPU - i7 @ 2.6Ghz
RAM - 6 GB DDR3 1066
Motherboard - Factory, no clue on the specs
Video Card - Radeon 6870 1 GB
Monitor 24" Dell widexfeen monitor, approx 6 years old
Here is what I have assembled on Newegg:
Case - Xion Xon-560 Mini-ATX
CPU - Intel i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz
HD - Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB cache SATA 6.0GB/s
Mortherboard - ASUS B85M-G
RAM - Corsair Dominator 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 PC3 12800
Video Card - EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB
PSU - Corsair Enthusiast series TX750M 750W ATX12V
Monitor - Samsung S27C500H 27" 5ms (GTG) HDMI Widscreen LED
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
With the new setup, I am about $125 under budget. I have been debating upgrating to an i7, upgrading to a GTX 770 or adding more RAM. Looking for feedback on my setup and any suggestions on if I would spend the balance on by budget on upgrading anything else. Thanks in advance!
