Hey guys, recently, lighting killed my old system..
The insurance paid out totalling 1240 USD ( I live in South Africa, so I converted the currency)
So the situation I'm in is, to me, an extremely difficult one, I need to make use of this ( sad, but unique) opportunity to future proof my new system as much as humanely possible!
I was shooting at a 980ti, atleast 16GB ram, and perhaps ( maybe?) an i7 CPU, the CPU being an i7, I know that I has next to no gain in gaming, and as such I can easily let that pipe dream go in favour of the gfx card...
So, I would like to challenge thee to help me perhaps get my hands on the best gaming rig I can afford with my budget, keeping in mind that I am absolutely wanting that 980ti in my system!
Luckily, I HAVE :
An (older) i5-4460 CPU at hand,
As well as a kit of 16GB 1866Mhz ram,
As well as a decent leadex superflower 750W 80 gold PSU
The problem? The Dollar to ZAR exchange rate is totally bezerk at the moment, In my. Country's currency, I have (ZAR 20156) to spend on the system.
So I already have some components, given they aren't the best, help me out to build this system please!
( I do think the CPU has to be updated, but the DDR3 ram and psu will still go easily I think)
This may seem like an extremely stupid problem to post on here, but I can't seem to decide what I need to do
I might as well extend the essay a little longer to explain my take on why I want the 980ti, I'll be mostly sticking to 1440p resolution when it comes to gaming, but I fear that 4GB of vram ( in the 980) may get too little too fast, which is why I feel like, when investing that much for the gfx, I might as well try to push for the 6GB vram, ensuring I have the needed amount for the foreseeable future, the speed of the gfx is basically overkill, which is where a 980 would be totally fine, but that lingering fear of having too little vram is holding me back a lot ( for example, I heard gta5 takes a hefty 5GB vram, given its probably cuz 4k res, it's still a sign perhaps?!)
Edit :
I already have a chassis for the pc.
I also don't need the price of an OS included in the price.
Forgot to say THANKS in advance ^.^
Edit 2 : Forgot to mention that I also have :
A Samsung Evo ssd and hdd's, the things I have mentioned that I already have is the parts that came out unscathed from the lightning strike, surprised to see so many parts still in working condition!
