My computer is getting old and it seems time that I do some upgrades to get a few more years out of it. My current specs are:
Antec 300 mid case
i7 920 at 2.6 GHz
GeForce GTX 260 x 2 in SLI
3 GB DDR3 1600 x 2
640 gig HDD
CORSAIR TX 750W PSU
Sunbeam Contact Freezer
Currently my rig used mostly for gaming and PS2 is really kicking it in the butt as far as performance goes and that is getting really old. I plan on overclocking my CPU to 4 GHz hopefully but need some advice on my GFX cards. Does anyone have any advice in what to replace my current cards with? I don’t need a SLI setup. I would actually prefer a single card as SLI seems to come with its own heartaches. The ‘best graphics cards for the money: April 2014’ article gives me some good info on the best cards at the individual price points but I am not sure that plopping a shiny new 500 dollar card is a good idea in a rig that is 4 years old and a good match for the rest of the other components that I have in the computer.
Any advice in a good pair for what I have would be greatly appreciated as would any advice considering the other components if you have some
Thanks in advance.
