Afternoon all....been lurking around here a while and haven't really had a reason to get a discussion going up until now so here goes...
I am about to buy a system off a friend, he built it a few months back and has become too busy at work to use it for what it was built for. He offered to dish it off to me for a very cheap price and seeing as its so cheap I might upgrade a couple of the bits that are in it as soon as I get it...
Im looking to use it for gaming (BF3, GW2, MW3 <Any other 2 letters and a number>) could anyone advise me if anything would need upgrading now or in the near future...Here's the list of components he sent me...
Processor - Intel i7 3770K Ivy Bridge
Motherboard - Asus Z77 Deluxe (He specifies he bought and installed a better heatsink but doesnt say what it is)
RAM - Cosair 1866mhz 2x8GB
Graphics - AMD XFX HD6870 1GB DDR5 - Black Edition
PSU - XFX 1000W Platinum rated
HDD - WD Caviar Black 64mb Cache - 2TB
SSD - OCZ Synapse Cache Drive - Sata 6 - 128GB
Also, I want to purchase a decent monitor to go with this...around 23" but as there are so many on the market I personally dont know what to look for when buying one :$
Thanks!
