Thanks in advance, all.
I once (10-15 years ago) knew what I was doing, but time has not been kind. I'm trying to put together something that will run Skyrim at peak capacity (with all the sexy texture mods), and existing FPS (BF4 & Planetside 2), and ideally last a few years.
I've listed below what I inferred from NewEgg reviews, combo offers, and the like. I have no idea where the bottlenecks are these days. So ... thoughts on what I should add, delete, upgrade, downgrade etc. are very much appreciated. Don't need a monitor; would love to stay around $1.2k.
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz - $339.99
GIGABYTE GA-Z87-D3H - $129.99
GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770 2GB - $339.99
G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 - $199.99
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III SSD - $119.99
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W - $89.99
Cooler Master HAF 922 - $89.99
Total: $1,309.93 (not sure I need the power supply at all... I don't remember what I have right now, but I think it's in the 750W range)
Thanks again!
