Hey guys!... was just looking for a little bit of advice... I'm not a complete noob, but I am by no means an expert
about 3 years ago I built a mid range gaming rig, using the advice from this forum and 3 years later I am returning for some more advice
... what an investment it was though... absolutely love it... and still love it to this day... however I'm looking into having a multi screen battlestation configuration and would defo need an upgrade for this... I've saved about a grand over the years specifically for upgrading my rig and I hope I can work with what I currently have
My issue is compatibility... it's not as simple as taking 1 part out and replacing it with an upgrade is it?... there are compatibility and power supply issues to think about right?
so with that in mind I was wondering if I could list my current set up and for anyone to chime in what direction I should go
Asrock z77 extreme4
XFX R7950 i5 3750K 3.4GHz
Corsair CX 600W
CoolerMaster Hyper212 EVO4
2 x XMS3 4GB RAM
so this is my current setup... was looking at improving the graphics card obviously... and what else? I hope the i5 is good for another couple of years so I don't have to touch that...I was told when I initially built it... anything more than a i5 is overkill for gaming...so I saved money on that instead of going with an i7
so first off...is this a good candidate for an upgrade?
cheers!
