Time to upgrade but I am out of touch.
Guys, I want to upgrade an old gaming machine, the case is an older Lian-Li, the cube server one so more then enough room. I have drives, etc. I am looking at a Mobo, CPU, RAM, and Video Card upgrade suggestion that is relatively cheap.
I have a unique build philosophy, I start from the monitor and work my way back. I mean it's the monitor and software you run that determines all the other requirements.
The software part is easy, gaming in all it's glory. I play World of Tanks and Mechwarrior online, and lately H1Z1.
The monitor is below;
SAMSUNG S29E790C, 2560X1080 4ms (GTG) 2K, 1X Display Port, 2XHDMI connections.
So I need a video card solution that will handle this resolution well and a solid CPU, Mobo, and RAM solution. just the generic info, no need for detailed individual make and model for everything. I just need a solid CPU option, Intel or AMD, a solid mobo chipset, and actually, I can figure out the RAM myself from there.
As for the budget, they video card solution is what it is, but I usually prefer to stick with single card solutions over multiple cards and larger PSUs although a dual-gpu board is certainly a strong possible if it fits the need.
