Hi all,
First time poster here. I am looking for advice on how to best and most effectively upgrade my PC. Consider me a tech noob only really understanding the basics. I'm not sure if I need a second card for SLI, a different card, more processor speed, or what. I'm not sure if my motherboard can handle another card, but I listed the specs below. My goal is to run games in 2k res with a great framerate and be ready for games with Dragon Age: Inquis and Witcher 3, etc.
I have a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX 770 OC - 4 GB right now on a Intel i5-2500k @ 3.3 ghz with 8 gigs of ram and Windows 7 64 bit.
Other info you might want:
- GIGABYTE Z68A-D3H-B3 motherboard
- 2 4GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE 1600MHZ DDR3 (for 8GB total)
- some cooling elements as well, like COOLERMASTER SILENT PRO 1000W
Anyway, I'm just listing things from my old invoice. I've had the computer about 3 years now from CyberPowerPC.
So, please let me know what's best for me to upgrade for the best value/performance increase. I have a new Dell 30" 2k monitor as well.
Thanks in advance!
