I'm usually very frugal with money so I'm still paranoid at the idea of spending 800+ dollars on a new mobo, CPU, RAM combo.
At the moment, my PC specs are-
amd athlon II X4
Cheap Foxconn mobo
6g ddr3 1080 MHz ( or around that)
Gtx 580
700w power supply
1tb hdd- windows 7 64 bit
I want to replace the whole mobo/processor/ram and get the i5 2500k, UD7 p67 motherboard and corsair vengeance 4g x 2 memory. I can get these right now but I'm careful with my money.
My main question is: Will an expensive motherboard, CPU and 1600 MHz memory REALLY impact the fps or gaming experience. My alternative is getting a lame motherboard that supports sli and getting another gtx 580 or even another monitor. I dont know which is more important, GAMING wise.
Any input will be appreciated$
