Hi guys.
Its been almost over 4 years since i upgraded my pc so i decided to give myself a treat.
To be completely blunt, this pc will be mostly used for gaming, the work stuff is on another pc .
I plan on upgrading the CPU, motherboard, graphics card and also RAM.
I've been thinking of this:
CPU: i7 3770k 3500 mhz. socket 1155 (please comment on this. its been a while since i tracked hardware performances so i'm kind of out of the loop as to what to look for and why)
Motherboard: msi Z77A-G43, socket HS(1155) (seems a nice relatively cheap and fast MB to use with my CPU)
Memory: Patriot 8gb (2x4gb) viper3, 2133 hz, dimm 706 (maybe 2x for a total of 16GB, bit of advice here please as well)
Graphics card: msi nvidia gtx770 or 760 (they both score pretty high on the benchmark tests while being pretty cheap. am i missing something?)
Are there any bottleneck problems here?
Also, is there another product i'm overlooking and that would give me more bang for the buck?
Also the budget is not 100% set, so if you would propose something a bit more expensive (or cheaper!), it wouldnt necessarily be a problem.
Thanks for the help everyone!
