Hello,
I've recently decided to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram (and possibly my gpu)
My usage is primarily playing Swtor (mmo) and online browsing.
Current set up is:
MB-ASUS M4A88T-M LE AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD
CPU- Phenon II X4 955
Vid card- sapphire hd 7850 1gb gddr5
RAM- Gskill ripjaw 4Gb (2x2)
Power- Antec bp550w
I think i've decided on the i5 4570 for my cpu and the gskill ripjaw 8gb for my ram. Looking for advice on a solid motherboard that will be good for now and possible upgrades down the road preferably in the $90 to $150 range.
I'm also wondering if its going to be necessary to upgrade my gpu right away. I'm not against doing it but don't want to bother with just a slight upgrade. Just don't know if I'll run into any bottlenecking issues if I make the other upgrades and not the gpu.
Thanks.
