Hi folks. On my current system I can play games in 1080 but not to the full potential games offer. For example some settings may have to be set to "Medium" or "high" from very high which obviously detracts from some of the visuals. Other times I may have to lower render distances or even both. Even when I do this some games will still stutter and it's pretty frustrating. I'd like to have a system capable of playing games on the highest settings without me having to worry about lower FPS and other annoyances.I may also look to record / stream at these high end settings so this should also be considered.
My current system is as follows:
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V PRO (Over 3 years old)
Processor: 3.60 gigahertz Intel Core i7-3770K (Over 3 years old)
GPU: MSI AMD R9 290 - (Less then a year old)
Memory: 16gb ram (less then 2 years old)
PSU: EVGA Supernova650G Gold - (Less then a year old)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
I also have a water cooler on the processor, the brand escapes me at the moment but it gave significant improvement when I installed that.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. No budget really however if it starts to get into the thousands I suspect I'm better off buying a new pc all together.
