Hey folks, seeking some advice here.
Here's my rig: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229283
Just upgraded the ram to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229283
I upgraded the ram because my rig shipped with a dead stick of ram, and I've been getting impatient waiting for the replacement stick to come. I'll be using the rig hopefully for the next 3 or so years, so I figure the 16gb ram can't hurt. I'll just transfer the 8 gigs to my old rig that my girlfriend will be using to play d3 with me.
CPU related side nite: I will also most likely be buying an after market cooler for my CPU so that I can overclock it to ~4.5 ghz.
That being said, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card in the rig as well, hopefully without the need to purchase a new PSU. My budget for the graphics card would be ~$300, I suppose I would be willing to throw $350 at it if I could find one worth the extra $50.
So... questions:
1) GPU recommendations?
2) If necessary, PSU recommendations?
Thank you all in advance for any advice!
