Hello,
I'm debating the need to upgrade my rig or not. The 2600k is still a very capable chip, but i made a mistake when i bough it (first build) and bought a pretty bad mainboard. So now i'm stuck at 3.4 GHz (no overclocking capabilities) and DDR 1333 ram (overclocked at CAS 6 though).
I don't have any upgrade path with this board. I could buy a used mainboard with better OC capabilities (still pricey for hardware this old), and new faster ram, or just go ahead and build a new 6700k computer (although cash is a little short these days)
Current video card is a 290x. I'm running 1080p. Getting low min FPS is Fallout 4 and XCOM 2 at the moment.
What do you think ?
Thanks!
