I currently have what I believe to be a cheap starting, upgradeable PC to start with from ''scratch'' as I picked this up for dirt cheap and figured I would have expandability on this platform. Being a console peasant I finally decided to put effort into a '' okay '' to decent setup for the games I had in mind (arma2-3, dayz, ETS2 etc) I'll list my current specs and mention my next purchase would be RAM and GPU (to be expected) but I thought I'd ask some more knowledgeable members which add ons would be ideal with safely OC'in my stock 920 and adding a suitable GPU to complement this system in every way.
Specs.
Windows 7 64 bit
i7 920 at 2.66ghz
Asus P6T motherboard
6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 RAM (currently)
650watt Antec True Power Trio power supply
Nvidia quadro (didn't take the time to look what model, but a weak 5.1 /5.2 for graphics in WPI) (currently)
Seagate 1TB HD.
and a CoolMaster CM Stacker 830 housing
I have my next purchase being an MSI r9 270x OC for what I thought was a good deal and hopefully met my needs for $100 local in my area. Hence me coming here first to be positive I'm making the right decisions, whether it be GPU, more RAM, more power? etc etc.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and comments.
