Hi,
I recently got a new job after two years efforts and as part of celebration I want to upgrade my game setup. I am willing to spend around 700 USD efficiently, however I am not able to decide so far what .
PL see my config and conditions and suggest-
AMD 1055 T Hexacore 2.8 Ghz - Using since 7+ years, never overclocked, running perfectly fine.
Mother board MSI 970 A G43 - purchased since a year or so
Nvidia GTX 970 - purchased since a year or so
Crossair PSU 1000 W - 1.5 years old
RAM - Samsung 16 GB
Sata HDD - 1 TB
Speakers and single monitor are running great and my small study does not have room for additional monitors.
My options and conditions -
Wanted to have SLI but I foolishly thought while buying MB that if it can support crossfire would also be able to support SLI. Now I am being told it does not. Is there anyway I can go around this? As I did purchase 1000 W PSU so that I could put multiple graphics in the system and so I really feel bad if that beast is underutilized.
Getting a SSD - This is one of options I am thinking but will it really help in gaming?
Changing the MB - This will mean I need to change the processor as well as that processor does not fit in today's MB sockets. But if my processor is really acting as a lag I will not mind changing it.
Anything else ?
Thanks
