My current specs are as follows:
SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ PSU
Kingston 8GB(2 X 4GB) DDR3-1333MHZ PC10600
Intel Core i5 2500 Processor LGA1155 3.3GHz CPU
Gigabyte Geforce GTX670 Windforce
Seagate SATA3 1TB 7200RPM 32mb Cache
Asus P8H67-M-LEV3 H67 2DDR3 5PH 1333 RAID GLAN PCIE16 SA3 mATX HDMI ST
One thing that really bugs me is that a friends CPU and GPU is similar in terms of performance specs, however in Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm he's pushing close to 200+fps on the ultra setting whereas I barely pass 70fps and even fall as low as 28fps on occasion. This leads me to believe it is likely the other components holding me back but I have no idea which one. I've also upgraded from the 560ti to the 670 which didn't really improve performance too much for me except giving me another 10-20 fps in FPS games. I still get massive framerate drops in NFS: Hot pursuit when I'm drifting around a corner like below 15fps.
