RAM and GPU Upgrade

[Kevin9809]

With the arrival of BF1 late next month, it looks like it's finally time to upgrade my ram and GPU on my three year old system. My current system has G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card, which puts me right at the minimum specs for BF1. For information on my motherboard and other components, please check out this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/355558-31-final-build-thoughts


Approximate Purchase Date: No later than mid-October

Budget Range: Video Card (no higher than $300 preferred, but not set in stone); Ram (less than $100 if 16GB ram)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: N/A

Parts to Upgrade: GPU and RAM, see link above for current full PC specs

Do you need to buy OS: No, using Windows 10

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Newegg, Tiger Direct

Location: Jacksonville, FL, USA

Parts Preferences: No preference, but well-known quality brands preferred

SLI or Crossfire: No, only plan on buying one video card

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I like to play games. These upgrades are being made due to BF1's minimum and recommended requirements. I had some performance issues during the beta.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: See above comment.
