On my sig rig? I have about $250 to spend on upgrading either my motherboard or my video card.
The video card ( EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti) is about a year old and has some wear and tear from moving a few times, and I realize that it is the cheapest part of my build as well, but the main use for my computer is SW:TOR and I have not really had any lag or performance problems with it since I got it. I have not seen it played on a better video card either...
The motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H WB) BIOS is just irksome when trying to OC, but the board itself is only about three months old. I have had a few problems with it when OC'ing at 4.5Ghz as it will boot and reboot a few times when I reset the system (when it is warm), and my dual UEFI BIOS is funky, one does not enter into BIOS any more, and the other has severe mouse issues, worse than the other one did when it went into BIOS.
For the video card, my research shows that the 7850's are the best bang for the buck now, and have been checking out the MSI or the Gigabyte (skeptical about another Gigabyte product though). For the MOBO, I have been looking at the Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE ATX LGA1155. But I don't know what to upgrade so I thought I would post in here.
Thanks in advance, and have a merry Christmas.
