Hi!
I have a Sony Vaio VPCSB11FX.
My current specifications (specs) are:
Dual core Intel Core i5 CPU
Mobile Intel HD Graphics GPU
4 GB of physical RAM
Toshiba MK5065GSXN 450 GB Hard Drive
CPU-Z says that my motherboard has the following:
Chipset - Intel - Sandy Bridge - Rev: 09
Southbridge - Intel - HM65 - Rev: B2
LPCIO - SMSC
Now, I know a little bit about computers, but not much. I'm planning on buying the following:
Solid State Drive: OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
Video Card: EITHER nvidia geforce gtx 690 OR amd radeon hd 6990
and 8-12 GB of RAM.
If you need any more information, let me know. I would like to know if I need a new motherboard and, if so, which one should I get specifically.
If you have any other comments or suggestions on what I plan on buying or anything else, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
On a different topic, would it be recommended to get a new CPU as well? Is the Intel i7 3960X @ 4.2Ghz a good choice?
