My current specs from 2011 (besides my video card) are:
Case: Antec Six Hundred Black Computer Case.
Disc Drive: LG Black Blu-ray/Disc Combo SATA Model UH10LS20 LightScribe.
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (JUST UPGRADED THIS MONTH, 2015) Starting to feel the bottle-necking and effects of my old CPU and MoBo bring down this card I just got.
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX/AMD.
Pwr Suppy: XFX Black Edition P1-750B-CAG9 750W ATX12V v2.2 / ESP12V. (I'm assuming I'll need a newer PSU)
HDD: Western Digital WD Black WD6402AAEX 640GB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA.....I ALSO HAVE ONE SSD FROM KINGSTON.
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 6-Core 3.3Ghz, 3.7Ghz Turbo.
Now my heart is set on the AMD Black Edition - AMD FX -8350 4GHz 8-Core/Socket AM3+....I want to build around this CPU...and I KNOW I need a new MoBo for this, but I'm not sure which one to get. I'm looking to set myself up for The Witcher 3 and Mortal Kombat X, all on full load, ultra 1080p, 60fps, but I know I need a new MoBo and CPU for this, as well as RAM but I'm not sure what direction I should go in.
I use my PC for high-end gaming and nothing else, so I want to prepare for The Witcher 3 and MK-X, since my GPU just came with a free copy of The Witcher 3.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as I'm still rather new at understanding what is compatable and what is not, .
THANK YOU!
