Hello, I have read the beginner's guide and buying guide as well, but still I wasn't satisfied with the answers that I've found.
So this is my CPU right now:
I'm currently trying to figure out on how I should upgrade my PC. From lurking around, I think I need to build almost a new CPU, but from what I remember, my RAM is already DDR3.
What I'm trying to achieve is that to have a good time in playing games, I currently play FF XIV Online with minimum setting. It would be great if I could run it on max setting. I am also looking forward to be able to catch up with any game released in next 2 years (hopefully).
Please kindly advise, even though I am currently living in Indonesia, I think it won't be that hard and much difference in the availability of the Board/GPU/Processor. Oh, and I think I only have around USD 1k to spend, but if you think it's impossible, just let me know and I will look if I could stretch the budget.
Thanks!
