Here is the current (running) build that I'm using
Only difference is I'm using the non-EVO version of that Cooler-Master CPU cooler, but that wasn't listed.
My MSI GTX 560 Ti Graphics Card finally had the fans die on me (first one, then the other sputtered and died as well) so I'm left with a problem.
I can't run my computer for gaming without burning up my GPU (and causing a bugcheck) so I need a new one. I'm also looking at replacing the fans on my 560 Ti before I resell it or I can salvage it somehow. A quick glance at Amazon showed the replacement fans go for ~$25 shipped.
That said, need some advice on a new GPU. Must be sub-$150 after rebates since I'm planning to only keep this computer for a few more years before doing a complete replace. I'd do one right now but money isn't flowing as freely as it used to be.
I was looking at this 750 Ti for a possible replacement but not 100% on whether that is a good deal or not. Was hoping for an Nvidia GPU if possible (blame game devs for using Nvidia-specific code too often). I honestly wish I'd previously gotten a PNY card since their 5-year warranty beats the pants off of MSI and EVGA cards measly 3-year warranties.
Any helpful responses are appreciated. Thanks for looking!
