Hi guys
I have been upgrading my semi-old rig for the last month and now I probably only need the GPU. I will be moving in with my girlfriend in 45 days, so this is the last time I will have the money to upgrade in a while =) I currently have:
Asus P8Z68VLX motherboard (Only crossfire, no SLI)
Intel i5 2500K with Hyper 412 cooler @ 4.5 ghz
16 GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1600mgz ram
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Corsair TX 750 Watt (12v, 60 amps) PSU
XFX Radeon 6950 2GB
Asus 24" 144hz monitor
Obviously, the GPU is the weakest link and I have briefly considered getting a used 6950 for CF and waiting for maxwell or maybe 2x R9 280x CF. For single cards, I was considering 290 when the brand-coolers appear, but I am not sure the PSU is enough for adding another 290 later on.
I will mainly be using it for BF4 and it is important for me, to hit 90-120 fps. I don't care much for AA as long as everything else is on ultra; I can really feel a difference being at many frames and using Lightboost on this monitor.
What would you guys do? Help me spend my money before my GF turns it into a designer couch or something =)
