So Im currently using a q6600 and it was amazing a few years ago, but the days of maxed out oblivion are long gone. And now that games are being designed with the ps4 ect in mine it simply cant perform anymnore.
I have a 700w power supply, harddrives, and a case along with all the peripherals.
What I need advice on is the Cpu, Gpu, Mother Board, and ram. I'm looking to spend between 400 and 850.
Ill be willing to spend closer the upper end if the hard ware will have me playing games on high / very high settings for a long period of time (3-5 years) "futureproofing"
Cpu- I wouldn't mind over clocking as long as it was worth the cost increase. I would do a minor overclock as to not decrease the lifespan of the chip. Also it being in a socket that could be upgraded later might be nice (especially if its on the low end)
So i was thinking either the i5-3350, i5-4670k, or the i7-4770k (if it "futureproofs")
Gpu- I currently have a gtx 560 and was wondering if buying a second card for sli worth it or if will be much happier with something like the GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256bit.
Mother board- if i were to get a good video card id probably want to be able to Sli it later when the price drops.
Ram I was thinking 8 gigs for now but Im not sure what would be a good frequency/ price.
Sorry if it was wordy
Thanks in advance! (cause I've been doing a lot of reading but i haven't done a build in 4 years so i don't want to mess this up =b)
