*UPGRADE GOAL* Be able to play modern games at near max graphical settings (as aesthetically pleasing as possible) on a 1440p display @ 120 Hz or more with acceptable frame rates all while spending the least amount of money and re-using as much of current system as possible
Current System:
Asus Rampage III Mobo
Core i7 920 Bloomfield (1st Gen.), LGA1366 Socket
6 gb DDR3 RAM
EVGA GeForce 560 Ti
PCP&C Silencer 750W PSU
- Your budget/location/time of purchase? $700 Budget, within next 6 months
- Which local retailers? Microcenter, BestBuy
- What is the PC for? Would like to upgrade to 1440p 120+ Hz Gaming, mostly ARPG’s such as Diablo 4, Path of Exile 2, as well as Elden Ring, Witcher 3 and the like. Maybe some light editing of home videos.
- Any aesthetic preferences? No
- Interest in overclocking? Would be nice to have the option to, but not necessary
- Extras/peripherals required? Will need to upgrade my display as I’m currently on a basic 1080p TV
- Existing parts to reuse? I’d like to re-use as much of the existing system as possible FOR NOW, while reaching the goal of the upgrade. While still being future-proofed on the parts that I am purchasing now.
