Hi Guys,
This is my second post to be precise. I was wondering if you guys could advise me on what graphics card to get. Im not really that technical when it comes to computers and still learning but I would like to upgrade my HD 6850 from something much higher in terms of performance and detail wise. I was leaning towards a HD 7970 but im not sure if my current cpu will bottleneck the performance. Anyway to be honest my budget is not a problem so please, if you have any idea or something which would be a "BIG" upgrade please let me no. This can be from upgrading my full specs that I have which is;
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Socket AM3 3.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache CPU
- Coolermaster silent 80plus Certified Efficiency PSU
- 8GB Dual Channel G-Skill RIPJAW DDR3 1600MHz
- AMD ATi Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E Graphics Card
- Asus M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 880G CrossfireX Motheboard
- Samsung F3 1000GB 7200rpm SATA II Hard Drive
- Samsung DVD±RW with LightScribe
My psu watts is 450w and my cpu has been overclocked to 3.8ghz as mentioned. I want to be able to play games like Guild Wars 2 and further pc releases on ultra without no problems to last for lets say 3-4 years. I will only be using a 1680x1050 full HD. This pc build has lasted me for 3 years. Sorry if I missed anything I am a noob but any advise will be appreciated. Also I rather not crossfire because of certain problems I would rather not deal with but let me no of this experience as well if anyone has the same specs as me.
Thanks.
