hey guys! ive been looking around after doing my final major upgrades and am now stuck on where to upgrade next.
heres my build:
Asus Maximus III Formula
Core i5 750 (3.5 ghz)
XMS3 DDR3 4GB (1604 mhz)
GTX 275 (stock)
Corsair 850HX PSU
500GB HDD
Samsung monitor (1920 x 1080)
windows 7
heres whats out of the question in upgrading: cpu, mobo, cpu cooler, PSU, case.
heres what can be upgraded:
RAM to 8 GB (will this hinder my overclock?)
HDD to cheap SSD for OS atleast
GTX 275 to either GTX 480 or 5870 (when i get more money) or sli a GTX 275!
this computer is entirely for gaming and heck im a 16 year old guy so whatever else i do at my age lol.
Should i w8 for the next gen of video cards?
will 8GB of ram be overkill----> im not an enthusiast
SSD looks like the best option id like to have faster OS--> however in most games i play i load first or second.
im looking to upgrade by christmas or after i get extra xmas money. but realize thats 6months down the road =)
