Hey,
MB: Gigabyte-890GPA-UD3H v2.1
Memory: GSKILL 8GB DDR3 Stick RAM 1333mhz
Processor: Black Edition 965 phenom x4 with a little push on overclock on stock cooler, stable.
PSU: Corsair GS800
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
1. Just a few questions, what's my setup like? I'm looking to buy an SSD shortly and getting rid of my stock cooler.
2. How much could I overclock my ASUS HD 7850 gfx card? Here are the default specs of it:
3. Is it worth buying a better processor/motherboard for an even further of an upgrade? I'm looking to become a hard core gamer and would love to play GTA smoothly in max settings. The asus isn't THAT smooth. I thought it would be for the specs it has, but evidently not. I would just like to be pointed in the right direction what's good and what isn't and what needs to improve.
Thanks
