Build:
MoBo: ASRock 870 EXTREME3
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
CPU: Phenom II X4 B40
PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 550W
Win 7 64bit
I also have a second system (has some instability issues so it is used as a HTPC but I can swap things around I just never got around to it) I can pull the following from:
PSU: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W
CPU: Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
plus another 4GB ram
I am currently running an old 1GB 5770 card and it is starting to fail. I don't do a ton of gaming but want something decent enough to play the new COD or BF (actually the new Batman game might be a must have for me) games if I get back into it. My budget is about $300 give or take. With the black friday deals coming up what should I look for? And would I need to swap to the 750w PSU and would I see gains with swapping CPU's?
Thanks I have been out of touch with hardware since my last build about 3 years ago...
