Hey all, looking to upgrade my first ever PC build from 6 years ago.
Approximate Purchase Date: the closer the better
Budget Range: ~400 After Rebates; After Shipping (flexible on this; looking to hear suggestions)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, 3D modeling
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Looking for suggestions
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference. I am in the USA, so looking for best price here.
Location: Corvallis, OR, USA
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: Maybe?
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe? I think this motherboard supports it
Your Monitor Resolution: I have dual ASUS monitors 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Play steam games mostly, familiar with windows, 3D modeling, and programming
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: General computer slowness. Gaming performance is pretty poor.
