Hi there,
So i would like to upgrade my PC for the best gaming experience possible, meaning +60fps with eveything maxed out in games like Crysis 3 or the upcoming Watchdog.
Currently i have :
- i7 960 3.2Ghz (overclocked to 3.8Ghz, can i safelly go higher than that without water cooling ?!)
- Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler.
- 1 XFX R9 290 (on PCI 2x)
- 6 GB of ram
Right now i cannot play AC IV Black Flag with everything maxed out at 60fps, it quickly drops to 30fps. Crysis 3 runs around 40fps with everything maxed out. Wildstar (MMORPG) can drop to 20 FPS in big cities with lots of players around.
I mainly play at 1080p, but i have 3 screens and sometimes enable eyefinity just for fun, but of course things get worse.
So what do you think should be my next upgrade ? Should i get a second R9, or get an i7 4770 with new mobo, faster memory (12GB this time). The new CPU option is substentially more expensive, so i would like to be sure i get steady +60fps.
Thank you for any advice you can provide 🙂
