I have been using the same computer for about 3.5 years now, and up until now I havent given much thought to buying new hardware at all. However, with recent game arrivals I have come to realize that I would benefit a lot from upgrading my computer.
I know the obvious first upgrade would be the gpu, but given the age of the hardware, I am worried about the whole "bottlenecking" effect - that upgrading my gpu would not be very effective since other components might drag down the potential of the card.
My computer hardware:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560ti
Processor: AMD Phenom II x6 1090t
RAM: 8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz
Motherboard: ASUSTeK M5A97 (Socket 942)
If I could get any tips and suggestions to hardware upgrades, it would be greatly appreciated.
