So, I have an I3 2100 3.1Ghz, 4gb of Ram, and an ATI 6670. I am right about to buy a 630W Antec PSU along with an R9 270 (2GB GDDR5 Ram) graphics card.
Right now I'm using an ATI 6670, so an R9 270 will be a ridiculously massive upgrade. I would upgrade my CPU and RAM as well, but I simply can't afford to at least for 1-2 more years.
My plan once I get the R9 270 is to max out the settings in most games as much as possible so most of the resource-strain is placed onto the GPU, and not my ram or CPU. I hope this works.
Nonetheless, I'm optimistic this will be an extremely good gaming rig, the R9 270 should at least be 4x as good as my ATI 6670...
P.S 1; I wonder if I should save 10-15 dollars by downgrading the PSU and using that money to get an extra 2GB of ram.. I think 630W is totally overkill, perhaps?
P.S 2; considering I've been using a an ATI 6670 for the last 3 years, I'm essentially a computer peasant xD. I think my standards are so low right now (I consider 20 Frames per second totally playable), that this will be AMAZING...!)
