Seems like games are beginning to creep up on video card requirements. I was thinking of doing a minor overhaul. I was thinking of replacing the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and video card. I've been out of the loop with what's new lately! Now that my daughter was born, older, and sleeps thru the night, I can go back to my gaming PC (late at night only lol). This is for gaming PC only. I don't surf or have multiple programs up when Im gaming.
Should I wait for Ivy Bridge (read it here and in wikipedia)?
I noticed on the video card front that it's all quiet; GTX 570 and 6970 as the ones most talked about. Any thoughts? I've had a nvidia card blow up 8 yrs ago which makes me afraid to go back to NVidia and Ive had ATI's since then. I won't sli/crossfire because Im not a FPS fan.
With respect to mobo's I was thinking of going with either a Gigabyte, Asus, or Asusrock but was wondering if I should wait for Ivy Bridge amd/or who's the good quality maker these days.
RAM; Does it matter if 6GB is enough or double it?
Price: no maximum because Im wondering on others thoughts; but definatley not in extreme territory.
