Good news for me! I am getting $2,000 for Christmas! I just found out 10 minutes ago, and I'm so excited that I can't contain it!
I am going to upgrade my rig - no question about it!
How should I upgrade it, and in what ways?
Here is the complete list of what I have:
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
i5 2500k @ 3.30GHz (overclocked to 4.30GHz)
CM Hyper 212 Air Cooler
Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 2GB
8GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
Antec TP 650w PSU
Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM HDD
Cheap ReWritable DVD recorder/reader
Cooler Master Elite 430 case with 4 fans (3 of them added)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS
Razer Black Widow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Razer Death Adder Infrared Optical Gaming Mouse
ASUS 24'' 1920x1080 Monitor
That is pretty much it, for the most part.
Let me go ahead and add that I am NOT interested in a SSD - a waste of money for a few extra seconds of game loads (opinion).
Any input would be so greatly appreciated!
