Hello,
I am looking to upgrade as I have started noticing some slow down (mainly in World Of Tanks, Diablo 3 etc) and considering my current CPU/MB/RAM are 4 years old at least and i am on a tight budget ($600) i want to make sure i upgrade wisely. Current specs below:
I7 860 lynnfield @2.8GHz, 4gb ram, Geforce 660ti superclocked (2gb). The video card is a year old, and is the newest peice of hardware in my computer.
I was all set to order a new I5-4690k @3.5GHz, new MB, 8gb of new ram, and another 660ti to run them in SLI mode. All this was within my $600 budget, albeit barely.
Ive had a few people tell me to just spend almost the whole 600 on a new video card, the other stuff doesnt matter. Is there any truth to that? What would you guys recommend on my budget?
Finances are very tight now, so I cant afford to spend unwisely. Thanks in advance for any advice/info!
