Hey Guys!
I recently created my first build WAAAY back in April. I love it dearly! The time has come, for the question? Should I upgrade?
Current Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-4100
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970a-D3
RAM: 2 x 4gbs 1600Mhz Rip Jaws G.Skill
SDD: 128GB Samsung 830 SSD (I need some help setting it up w/ OS and a few games )
HDD: 1TB Seagate HDD
GPU: EVGA GTX 560
PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme 800w
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout
Approximate Purchase Date: Some parts I am getting in December 2012. Should be done BEFORE April 2013
Budget Range: MAX $1500NZD, Would like to keep it UNDER $1000NZD, Before Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Coding, Video Editing, Watching Movies
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, GPU, MOBO, CPU Fan,
Do you need to buy OS: Not that I know of!
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Mightyape.co.nz PBTech.co.nz
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Asus or Gigabyte Mobo,
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, in the future
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Must be able to handle ANY game on Ultra. GPU must be quiet-ish under normal Load. CPU Fan must be quiet!!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Skyrim lags when having mods and running on High. I love having everything on Ultra, which I can do, but the computer sounds like a Jet taking off. I need a faster CPU to run Starcraft 2 on Ultra, the CPU can't handle that ATM.
Thanks for checking this out and helping me!
