Hello! I am looking to upgrade my desktop. I've previously asked here and received a good response and I did build it but now I feel I need to upgrade again. I currently have this build:
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 ATX FM2+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Western Digital RE3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - OEM (64-bit)
It plays fine on some games, but as I am currently playing FFXIV, I would like to up it so that it can play more smoothly graphics-wise (play on max settings). My current computer does get a tiny bit loud (fans get louder and I can feel the case on some areas get a little warm) and am hoping one of you can help me upgrade it to better performance all around.
Budget-wise, I am looking for around $1000 if a suggested build is from scratch, which I don't mind at all. Will be ordering parts online and within the next month or so, hope to have it up and running.
Also, would like a recommendation on an SSD as I've heard it loads much faster and boots much faster.
Looking forward to any help! Any questions, please ask and I will get back to you ASAP. Thank you!
