Hey guys I need some advice and some help from you experts.
Basically I am a gamer, and I have noticed my system suffer from time to time while recording footage with bandicam or fraps and ect.
My current setup is as follows:
CPU: Phenom X4 970 BE 3.5 Ghz Quad Core Stock Clocks.
Mobo: ASUS M4A77D AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
Ram: 4x1gb sticks of Gskill DDR2 5-5-5-15 total of 4gb
Case: LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Okay first off I do have all my parts I want to upgrade to. I am keeping my current video card, hardrive, ssd and power supply.
I am replacing the parts listed above with-
CPU: 2500k -(Saving 100 dollars cause I heard it overclocks the same as 2600k and I dont need HT)
Mobo- Asus Maximus Extreme Gene-Z - Micro Atx board thats cheap and awesome!
Ram: Corsair Dominator GT 2x2GB 1866 mhz w/ fan cooler
Case: Cooler master Haf 922 blue edition.
I will be using the stock cooler till I can afford a h100 and do a push/pull system, I heard that I may need to mount the pull fans on top of the case which doesn't bother me, but some confrimation would be nice.
Will that ram play well with that motherboard? I heard this board can auto clock your ram and cpu in less that 2 mins in the mouse driven bios, I am hoping that is true I don't know to overclock.
Is this a good case to invest money in? My budget is 600.00 and this all comes in at newegg.com at 605.22 with shipping.
I am pairing my new setup with a 6970 and a 640 gb hdd and a 40gb ssd.
I also do plan to do crossfire 6970s with this board.
Will I see a big performance gain?
