ok, i guess ill start with my name. Im nick, nice to meet all of you.
Today i wanted to ask you what possible components i may need to upgrade (if not all of them) to preform the tasks listed ; gaming (at least med quality settings for most games), streaming the game im playing via twitch on atleast 1280x720, and video editing.
my current set up:
processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
graphics card: GeForce GTX 650
Ram: ~13gigs OCZ DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) gold series
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5P
Power supply: Zalman 850 watt ZM850-HP
Case: antec 1200
keyboard: black widow ultimate
mouse: 2014 razor naga
I need to open my case to actually see the type of ram i have, as well as the mobo.
i built this pc 6 or more years ago right when the first intel i7 came out. and have only needed to change my graphics card which was a downgrade imo lol.
i know my pc is old but its been threw alot and can still play most of the games i currently play on med or higher. the problem is when i start streaming. which probably has to do with the cpu.
also i have, i believe a 750-100 watt power supply. i cant remember exactly. since its about 8 years old should i possibly upgrade that?
the case im using is an antec 1200 , and i dono if many of you have experienced owning one but it is one loud Mother****ing case and it is to loud for steaming (to much background noise) if you can recommend a newer case to me that is more quite as well as has a decent cooling system (separate or combined) that would be awesome.
also i have heard that windows xp is one of the better os's to use while gaming and the like. is this true and should i downgrade from windows 7?
sorry this will be the last question. do you guys think a 28.5 down and 6.2 up is decent for streaming? is it to low? or am i fine where im at?
ill get back to you guys on exactly what type of ram i have and what mobo im using.
thanks!
