Hey all!
PC Specs:
i7 920 @ 2.67 (though i plan on clocking it to 4.0 soon)
Asus P6X58D-E mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8gb ddr3 1600mhz
seagate 2tb 7200rpm
Gigabyte gtx770 2gb windforce
Thermaltake smart m 750 modular psu
I am a hardcore gamer, and I play almost everything that comes out. As of May this year, I was running that same system with a crappy mobo and an AMD athlon II x4 630 and had no real problems.
A 920 has fallen into my lap for free, just as I was getting ready to upgrade to a z97 hero with an i7 at the helm.
Money is not really an issue as I was getting ready to upgrade anyway, but of course saving is nice.
I plan on setting up sli with 2 windforce gtx770.
Question: Is it worth it to upgrade the 920 (even if I oc to 4.0ghz) for a 4770k. As mentioned before, I mostly will use my comp for intensive gaming. So upgrade mobo/cpu and get another gtx770 later, or keep 920 and sli sooner.
Your thoughts/opinions/experiences are much appreciated as this decision has begun to hurt my brain.
