My B-day is approaching and I'm looking for the best upgrade bang per buck. My build is old and cheap but she's done me well.
Seeing as how the mobo/cpu are my oldest parts of the build, I'm looking for some upgrade suggestions @ $150-$200. Not really interested in OCing. I also fine with going Intel if need be.
Ideally I'd like to be able to run modern games on high-ish settings with steady 30-60 fps...I thought that'd have been possible when I upgraded to my GTX 660 but it hasn't panned out as well as I'd hoped.
Current Build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black 3.2GHz AM3 125W HDZ955FBGIBOX
MB: MSI 760GM-P34 (FX) AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM: HyperX 4GBx2 (8GB total) DDR3 1600
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660
SDD: OCZ Vertex 3 90GB 2.5"
HDD: Seagate Barracuda LP 1TB 5900 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply
