Hey guys,
I have not had the chance to keep up with the hardware world in the past 2-3 years. I feel like my rig is starting to give me a hard time : Example - tearing when watching movies, when playing BF4 on ultra (if i go sniper, everything is pixel-y and generally just unplayable, reducing quality removes judder/lag but still keeps this sniper issue).
Pretty much I'm at a crossroads, change a few things and keep it running with mainly old parts or change the entire rig. As cash is tight, i'd prefer the former but i'm worried about causing a bottleneck situation.
I'd like to know what you guys think. This is my current rig:
Windows 7 Pro
BIOS: BIOS Date: 12/09/10 20:41:43 Ver: 08.00.15
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor (6 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series
750W power supply Antec earth ATTS?
HDD : 2TB 7200rpm
as well as a 200GB mushkin SSD (that I dont use because i was too lazy to backup everything and reformat and whatnot...)
Audio : onboard audio via high definition audio
Monitors : Two screens, one extended to another.
I'd love to keep the changes under 800$ if possible. If you all think i should just scrap it and start over again, i will just have to do that and turn this into a little media system or something...
Thanks !
