Greetings people
I'm in the happy situation that my trusty 750 2.7ghx i5 with a HIS Radeon 6800 decided to quit on me this Sunday - it's been dying in the last week but had hoped i could settle for a new video card - sadly with the games I'm going to get , "it" wouldn't let me settle for that
I've patched 2 systems together within my means - based on what I've been reading on this page as well as others - I have no idea what I'm doing but think i landed somewhere in the right area.
From Komplett i can get r9390x which would set me back about 12000dkkr. - i have my 1 year old 800w power supply i hope will be working still - if not I'll be going another 1500 or so over budget...
And then there's the other option
i could go for a 970 gtx at 2900(same price as the standard r9 390) - the r3 390x is 5-600kr. more expensive... so not that huge a deal - but I'd save the 650kr on the casing(if it's even big enough in the first place) as i do have a case(but it's not big enough to house the 390x...). so in short - dropping the r9 390x would save me 1300kr.
i could of course throw that towards upgrading to a 980 - but... from what i can gather, a r9 390x is slightly better than the 980...
Or i could completely throw out this list and get something else. I've looked at the i5 6600k, I7 4790k both are and i7 5820k i'd save either 1k or spend 1k more depending on pick
Primary use of system - gaming - secondary use, school papers, movies, mail etc.
Long term goal for me - I'm a student - 1½ more years till i can land a real job making a decent living and have the means to go all in on a system - right now, my budget is capped - 12k is a bit steep but if it means more value now compared to spending more later it's a good tradeoff...
so I'd have this sytem for at least 2 years - i want to play X-COM 2, Total War: Warhammer, Deathwing, The Division and possibly Battle fleet Gothic.
to begin with, I'd be playing on 1080p as i can't afford a 1440 or 4k screen - maybe in about a year, i can afford 1440... that is my plan anyway.
really long term, once i graduate and find an income, I'd be building a new system and handing down this system to a family member - if it lasts that long.
Anyways, I'll appreciate any input from more tech savvy gamers..
I don't really believe in future proving and flashy LED lights... I just wanna get the best for my money without spending too much for nothing having said that, my old comp lasted quite a while and didn't show it's age till this week :/
