What's up guys, I have the following setup:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Stock)
ASRock 870 Extreme 3 Mobo
12GB DDR3 RAM
AMD HD 6850
Up until this month I've been satisfied with this computer, but with the release of FarCry 3 and my desire to play games like Rift and Planetside 2 at a higher framerate than 40-50 on medium to high settings, I've been considering upgrades.
I did some research and I really want to build a new Intel rig, but the setup I want is pretty unaffordable right now.
Is there anything I can do to salvage the machine I've got? I feel like I'm maxed out with this 1090t and non-AM3+ motherboard. I hear that the AMD FX series isn't even worth looking at anyway.
What can I do to get a little more performance out of this thing before I take it out back and pull the plug??
