• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

So my friend wants to get back into PC gaming.
His rig isn't the best though. He plays on an older Dell 1080p screen.

He has a i5 3570K / Asus P8Z77-V LX with stock heatsink.
8 gigs ram.
MSI 970.
Old HD.

I am thinking of of a SSD first.
Then more Ram as he uses photoshop a lot and always complains about the time it takes.
Other than that, anything you would suggest?

Thanks
 
SSD, double the RAM, and a good heatsink for OCing. Other than that, the CPU and VGA are plenty fine for 1080p gaming.
