Hoping to get some recommendations to upgrading my i7 920 setup I use for gaming:
i7 920 @ 3.9GHz
EVGA GTX 970
EVGA X58 SLI3 motherboard
SanDisk SSD 480GB
LG Ultrawide 2560x1080
I play mostly games like Ark and have been able to run them at near high settings just fine. I would like to keep the CPU, motherboard and ram at 500-ish since I'd also like to get Windows 10 with the new setup. I know my GPU is also aging but was hoping to put off that upgrade for later. I'm running the i7 920 OC'ed with no addl voltage cooled with a brand new H60 cooler (I had the original H50 running for close to if not over a decade LOL!!).
All in all my current set up runs fine. Adobe Premiere Pro struggles a bit on HD video editing but otherwise it's ok. I just wanted to not get to a point where I was totally far behind and needed to upgrade everything.
Any advice appreciated.
