I am planning to upgrade my pc to play games at 4k resolutions at decent framerates. Thanks to the 'affordable' 4k monitors which got out recently
My specs are :
-i7 960 oc'ed to 4.0 ghz (Noctua nh-u14s)
-Asus rampage iii formula x58 mobo
-6 gb of ram (forgot the details)
-HIS R9 290 iceqx2 (clocked at 1000/1350)
-(future upgrade) Corsair RM1000 1000 watt PSU 80+ gold
-Cooler Master Storm Trooper (spacious case)
-3 Tb harddrive
I'm going to buy another r9 290. My concern is will my old trusty i7 960 seriously bottleneck the potentials of the 2 r9 290s?
So you think it's better adding a second gpu or invest in new cpu and mobo first?
I'm not an expert in overclocking so ocing my i7 past 4 ghz gives me problems I cant seem to understand
