Hi everyone, I need some advice on building a new gaming rig. I'm looking for components that are capable of running any game at at least 60 fps in 1080p, preferably 1440p.
Preferences :
120fps
2560x1440
I don't want the system to cost ridiculous money but I'd like some idea's on a good 1440p monitor, what Intel cpu would be appropriate from the i5-i7 range, a large case with plenty of space, maybe a ~100GB SSD and a good Mobo for Overclocking. I might also need a larger HDD.
Current Rig :
AMD Phenom ii X4 965 (OC to 3.8 GHz)
ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX Mobo
Fractal Design Core 1000 Series Micro ATX Case
Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600 MHz
HD7870 XT GPU
I think ~700W PSU
7200RPM HDD 500GB
As you can see, my current rig isn't bad, I built it on a tight budget but it struggles in more cpu intensive games/scenarios (e.g. GTA IV, GW2, BF4, Modded Skyrim)
In most games I hover around at least 40fps+ on ultra / high but I'd like a smoother more graphically intense experience.
I would like this to be more of a system rebuild focused for an intel system.
I will likely want to hold onto my current GPU, RAM and PSU for now unless you feel I should replace it.
In this system I am perfectly fine with a good OCable cpu, and if need be include an aftermarket cooler.
I need suggestions since all I mostly know about is AMD since they were cheaper than intel whilst I was building my previous system.
Thanks for the suggestions guys
