Hello,
upgrade needed from hd4770 to a better graphic card.
Requirements:-dx11 to play atleast high settings for bf3,shift2,stronghold 3,skyrim.and if possible some entry level 3d & 2d cad & analysis,photoshop support(for learning purpose) would be a welcomed benefit
-->; my sys is : c2d e7400,stock intel g31.17" VGA Samsung monitor.will be upgrading psu and cabinet along with the graphic card.
-->; Main concern is gpu bottlenecking,and if any problems with dx11 & vista 32bit combo?
-->; currently eying on hd 6870/hd 6950/hd 7770/gtx 560ti/gtx 570/gtx 560ti 448cuda.
no particular "loyalty" with amd/nvidia brands
Buying time is most probably before may 2012.
Opinions on psu and cabinet are also welcome.
As far as upgrading of cpu is concerned,i am thinking of lga 2011 upgrade path,but not before oct 2012.So products that i'll be buying now,should be good for atleast 2yrs from now,and ofcourse compatible with lga 2011(which i think shouldn't be a problem).
Budget:as low as possible without compromising my requirements.
Also i'd like to mention that i am from India,so i'll be buying from local dealers,and parts availability shouldn't be a concern as the local dealers claim that they can get the parts shipped from overseas as well.
