Here is my build - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3pLr7
I built it in August and it was my first one; there are some parts I would have rather bought instead thinking back, but I'd like to fix that now.
- Getting a decent dedicated sound card; I plan on producing music and I need a card that can process audio with as least amount of latency as possible while delivering quality sound at the same time.
- Buying another large drive (2 tb) to install games/more applications as I'm running low on space and I'll use my 1 TB drive for backup storage.
- Upgrading my processor to something a bit more decent; I think the only route I can go is getting an FX-8350/20 or an FX-9XXX.
- I want to start playing games on a monitor with a higher refresh rate, maybe around 120 hz to 144 hz; what 1080p monitors can I consider with those higher refresh rates at around $200-$300?
Here are the options I'm debating over whether they're worth doing or not:
- SLI'ing my 760 which would result in me getting an SLI capable motherboard as well (I messed up on that part, first time) and buying another 760; or, I could get a larger card to replace it, like a 770/780.
- Getting another 4 GB stick of RAM, would that benefit much considering I multitask a bunch?
- Getting an aftermarket watercooler so I can overclock my CPU.
Any suggestions or other ideas? Any help would be great!
