Hello,
I have some choices to make. Below is my original order for a computer. I am considering an upgrade with the GPU because the CPU I want, an i5 processor, is not going to be available for awhile so I may put some money there and get an upgraded processor later.
I use my home computer for mostly work tasks and I will have 15 browser tabs open, multiple apps such as Word, Excel, Microsoft Paint, MP3 player open, all at once. My games are generally 2-5+ years old and I am fine not having the best most pristine and cutting edge graphics and am not concerned about shadows and lens flare, etc. but I can maybe get a nice GPU now and replace the processor later.
Are there any potential issues for me wanting to use my computer for the work tasks described above if I use the Rebuild with GPU Upgrade option below? If so, what are they? Overheating? Bottleneck during intense work tasks? Anything else?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
