Hi all,
Approximate Purchase Date: immediately
Budget Range: 300ish, a little flexible
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, browsing.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, mobo, RAM. Existing PS model I have is an Ultra 550 watt ps model #LSP550
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: anywhere
Location: Raleigh, NC
Parts Preferences: Prefer Intel but not set on it
Overclocking: I'd like to, not necessary though
SLI or Crossfire: Nice to have, but not necessary.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900
Additional Comments: No particular needs other than decent gaming performance. I mostly play World of Tanks/WarThunder.
Why Are You Upgrading: Current mobo/CPU is around 8 years old...I've squeezed all the life out of it I can.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have 300 dollars to spend. I have everything I need but mobo/CPU/RAM. My current video card is a GTX 760, I have a newish case, and all peripherals.
One idea I've been toying with is to spend a good portion of my budget on a nicer motherboard and buy 4gb RAM and a Pentium G860 for now with the intention of buying an I5-XXXX/more memory in the near future. Keep in mind that I'm currently using a Core2 Duo E6400 so it would be a large improvement. If anyone has any comments/suggestions on this idea I'd love to hear them.
Otherwise I'm open to whatever you suggest.
Thanks for the help.
