Hello! I am a budget gamer looking for my next piece to upgrade! I have recently upgraded my processor, graphics card, and power supply, hitting all the big areas. I can run most games with very nice visuals. I guess my real question is, I have about $100.00 to spend, and I'm wondering what I should do next, if anything.
Here are some of my current pieces
Hard drive and CD drive - TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223Q ATA Device [Optical drive]
WDC WD5000AAKS-75A7B2 [Hard drive] (500.11 GB) -- drive 0, s/n WD-WCASY3618912, rev 01.03B01, SMART Status: Healthy
Processor: 3.00 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 945
512 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Display: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti [Display adapter]
STD HDMI TV [Monitor] (19.1"vis, s/n 16843009, March 2009)
Motherboard/BIOS
Board: ASRock N68PV-GS
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. P1.30 01/08/2009
Another thought is sound, I really enjoy having good surround sound, and sound quality, should I go for headphones, or actual speakers?
Right now I'm using a REGENT home theater system, which is good, but not very up-to-date.
I use a generic DELL keyboard, probably a little outdated, that could use an upgrade, but I wouldn't want to spend too much on that.
For Performance, I was wondering if having a better hard drive would speed up load times, and gaming load times. I am not sure what effects what in that area. I was thinking that maybe the hard drive would be my next significant upgrade, because my windows experience scores it around 5.5, which is the lowest score I have.
Thank you for your suggestions, I know this may be a little out of category on the forums, but I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks again!
