Hello TH Users! I was recommended to you to ask if/what I can do to upgrade my aging "gaming" PC. I realize it's not the best thing, but I got a killer deal on the tower 2 years ago and its been a workhouse ever since.
I'm an avid gamer and would like to increase the performance of my machine. In particular, increasing my FPS in WildStar (current MMO I'm playing) as well as being able to handle some of the new PC gaming titles out there. Here's my Speccy Summary:
CPU
Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz 46 °C
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
Dell Inc. 0Y2MRG (CPU 1) 42 °C
Graphics
PanasonicTV0 (1600x900@59Hz)
Acer S202HL (1600x900@59Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series (ATI) 93 °C
Storage
465GB Seagate ST3500413AS (SATA) 32 °C
968MB Generic- SD/MMC USB Device (USB)
3GB Generic- Compact Flash USB Device (USB)
I'm getting a free Corsair 620W PSU and want to toss in a new video card. Nothing over-the-top expensive or cutting edge, but something better than what I have (especially since the fan is shot and I'm running at that temperature above). Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated!
