Hey everyone!
The last time I built a gaming computer was back in 2010; right before Bad Company 2 came out. Needless to say I am WELL overdue for a rig that can handle today's games. Unfortunately I have fallen out of the loop and I no longer know what's good any more; to make matter worse a lot of my friends who are still in the loop are a bit fan boy-ish.
That's where you come in, you beautiful, non-biased people.
My previous build was a Intel i7 960, GTX 480 and 6 gigs of ram. Built it myself so I understand the basics of how a computer is put together, how to get a RAID-0 SSD thingy a doo dad going, et cetera.
For some reason after I installed windows 10 and updated my drivers, my performance has gone from constant 200FPS to dips down to 40FPS. Not sure why that would happen. If anyone has some ideas I'm more then happy to try and fix that issue (Maybe two drivers conflicting?). I have already tried to roll back to my win7 copy but the issues persists.
Regardless; it's time for an upgrade.
Here's some info:
I will be building this asap.
Budget Range: $3000 CAN (not firm)
This system is strictly for gaming purposes.
A monitor is NOT needed.
Everything besides the hard drive is needed. (I purchased a new SSD on the black Friday sale)
