lol yeah i keep getting told that i shoulda went Radeon but i dunno i've always been an nvidia guy :D i may give them a go next go 'round though! i added the second fan to the radiator for a push-pull and just added in a WD Black 1TB an hour ago. debating whether it would be worth saving...

So guys after much deliberation I went ahead and pulled the trigger :) here's what I have so far: Inside shot: The Stuff: Intel i7-3770k Asus P8Z77-V LK Geforce GTX 670 Corsair Vengeance 16GB DD3-1600 Antec Kuhler 620 Creative X-Fi Platinum Antec Nine Hundred Corsair TX850M...

maybe down the line but not yet :) thanks! thats a bit of money i can hold on to for now lol

so I went and decided to go all out. These are the things i ordered this morning: Intel i7-3770k 3.5ghz Asus P8Z77-V LK Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz hopefully I get the performance boost worth the dough i just dropped D: one thing though, my power supply is from 2009...

k I RMAed my ram(thank god for lifetime warranties :D). I really want to upgrade to a newer motherboard and cpu and ram but shelling out roughly 400 bucks, I'm really wondering how much more performance I'll get compared to now. like right now with crysis 3(it's my go to with deciding since...

so i forgot to mention that two of my memory sticks went bad, so i'm actually down to 4GB. i know this is a different topic but for games like crysis 3 and other more intensive stuff, i get microstutter every now and again, is that because of how little ram i have?

I wouldn't mind going AMD again but man so many people say the Intels are so beast :o

lol yeah thats what i meant, i was doing it off the top of my head and got that mixed up. yeah an i5 would definitely be nice :)

thats what im hoping, i get really nice high frame rates but when i hit a "spike"(thats what id call it) where for like a half second the frames dip all the way down then shoot back up. unfortunately my motherboard is topped out pretty much, i hear it now supports the Phenom II X4 965 BE but...

yeah thats a good point, im trying not to spend too much but at the same time i want something that'll last, may just save for an ivy bridge or something.

cool, I might save up a bit to go intel this go around :) one thing I did notice, even though I get 30-60fps at 1080p it always seems to take a few seconds for it to get its frame rate together after loading in a stage then the frame rate is consistently smooth after that. was thinking it...

hey guys, I was wondering how much improvement I would gain updating the CPU/mobo/ram in my rig to something more modern in reference to gaming performance. I have Crysis 3 and I can run it with everything cranked up and FXAA and get 30-60 fps as it is now, but wondering how much better it...
