I am looking to spend about 600-750 on some upgrades for my rig.
I have a few things I would like to reuse from my current setup. I already have:
a pair of ssd's
a pair of 2tb hard drives (one of which I cant use because I am on ITX and there's nowhere to plug it in)
windows 8.1
dvd burner
corsair 770 w modular power supply
I am running an i3 (1155) with 8gb ddr3 1333 ripjaws (2x4gb) with a gtx 660 ti, the ram is descent but I suspect I will need faster.
I do like the corsair obsidian line and the 300d is on sale right now for 99 shipped. But I need some fresh IDEAS! I am obsessing over another Intel because of what I read about single core performance. Are the AMD's really all that slow with single core stuff (browsing, music, writing docs etc?) I didn't think it takes all that much to run those types of tasks.
Games I would like to run ac4, gta 5 and ac unity when it comes out. I am looking to crank up the effects a bit more or maybe a lot more than I currently can.
