Hello everyone,
A friend built me a gaming rig in late 2012 and so far it has served me proud. Now that two years have passed (and with a little more discretionary income for the foreseeable future), I am wondering whether or not I should upgrade a few parts on my pc. I am not THAT well-versed in components but know enough to get by. Here are my main internals:
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77
CPU: Ivy Bridge 3770k (OCed to 4.2 Ghz)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
GPU: MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB
PSU: Corsair HX750
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100
Case: Corsair 500r Carbide White
Hard Drive: couple of SSDs and 1 mechanical hard drive(not important)
Monitor: SAMSUNG B350 Series S24B350HL Transparent Red 23.6" 2ms GTG
I have actually thought of building myself a new rig but I want to see how capable my current rig is in late 2014. I don't play CoD or BF4 so I don't need the utmost max-FPS crazy rig but I would like to play games in good settings. The most visually intensive games I've played recently might be Shadow of Mordor, AC4, Far Cry 3, but I do not think I am playing in 100% true max settings.
I have considered upgrading to the GTX 970 (maybe SLI?) and get a 1440p korean monitor but I am not too sure if that would be a good idea. Might be best to ask the experts here first
Much Appreciated.
