Hi, I have a 4 years old pc rig that look like this :
i7 930
P6T Se deluxe MB
radeon 5870x2
6gb ram (3x2triple chan)
Since I can't run games at max settings in many new games, I think about an upgrade.
So I just bought an msi r9 290x...but now im not too sure about others upgrades.
I read that my processor can still be ok. I think I could just buy a water cooler than OC it a bit.
The ram I really dont know...I would like to buy more ram...But wich one ? Dual or Triple ? If I plan to upgrade my board and CPU if my setup can't handle the 290x...
Then a SSD, not too sure if my board can use one at full speed ?!
Im looking for some expert point of view and advices, because Im a bit confused. WIth my 290x at 500$ my budget can handle 500-700$ more.
Thank you. (sorry for my english)
