Hi guys/gals,
Here's the deal, my current setup is:
Notes
Proc and Mobo are on it's way from Newegg right now.
This is a gaming rig that drives a 1920x1080 display. (I know I could probably aim for more resolution but I'm more than comfortable with the current one)
And I'm wondering these 2 questions:
1. Do you think those 4 sticks of ram would be a good pair for the MSI Mobo? or Should I sell them and aim for a 2x4gb kit?
2. Do you think its time to upgrade the video card?
As far as money is concerned, I'm willing to pay around $300 more for upgrades on top of what selling of the current ram and video card would make (somewhere around $150 probably). But, they should be substantial.
Thanks!
