I'm looking to build a new system .. not entirely sure yet, I don't game on my PC as much as I use to (but still want something that will last)
So .. currently I am running
Intel Core i7-920
6GB Kingston HyperX T1 (PC3-16000)
Asus Rampage ii Extreme
Diamond MM (UGH) Radeon 5970
And looking to go toward a
Intel Core i5-3570K
Asrock Z77 Extreme4
8GB G.Skill Ripjaw
and maybe a .. Radeon 7970.
I've been doing alot of reading. I orginally got the card to run 3x monitors, but have scaled back a single one. I mainly game at 1920x1080, which is fine for me. And from what I've read, besides a few bells and whistles, there are not alot of upgrades unless I dump alot of money on a high end vid card (this current monster cost me $730 back in 2010).
I got my money out of it, but feel I can stretch is a bit more. Any other ideas? I only see the 7970 as a viable upgrade (everything else cost alot more than what I want to spend now)
