Yeah here's another thread guys. So my current rig is in my signature. I downloaded BF3 last night, and I kinda knew it wasn't going to be that great to play... but it turned out to be pretty bad with some skipping and what not. So I'm back to the decision.
Do I upgrade components? Upgrading components look like it would be most of the compouter... Proc, Mobo, Mem, Video, and probably PSU. That's most of the computer as is.What would I even do with the components after being upgraded?
Do I build a new computer? Right now my biggest problem is that if I can remember my current rig doesn't seem to be that old, and it already is too far outdated to run both BF3 and MW3 successfully. I'm looking for something that can run these games like a champ with no issues, and will either be able to A) Run future games for quite awhile, or B) Not need much to upgrade for future games. I only run 1x 23" monitor so I'm not thinking that I need to do SLI or Crossfire or anything. Or do I wait for new equipment, which would suck but would be kind of understandable.
I'm really not looking to break the bank with this one. I would prefer not to spend more than 700-800 if possible, but if that needs to be stretched then it can be. I'm the idiot who remembered I could pay for everything on a credit card just to make me happy lol. Please let me know!
