Hello there! I've had my rig for almost a year now and have been ecstatic with its performance. However, it's genetic that I can never leave things alone, and thus have the itch to upgrade my graphics card. I'll let the below info speak for itself:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next few weeks
BUDGET RANGE: $250 and $280 USD (I don't really do rebates)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, movies, everyday tasks. Currently I'm only playing The Sims 3 with all the expansion and stuff packs but will probably be getting Sims 4 and would like to play other games as well. One thing I ask that you refrain from is telling me "it's just Sims" because it's more demanding than people think. Not only that, it's a resource hog.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual X OC version, Seasonic X560 560 watt 80 Plus Gold PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: CPU is an AMD FX 6100. 8GB of DDR3 memory, Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo, Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus case, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU fan
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, Tigerdirect
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States
PARTS PREFERENCES: For AMD cards either Sapphire or Gigabyte; for NVIDIA I'm pretty much wide open
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Nope
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1600x900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Card must have exceptional cooling
Any advice is much appreciated!
