Hi you'll find my SPECS at the BOTTOM of this post
I'm interested in upgrading my setup for better performance overall but especially in video games. I use my PC mostly for gaming, movie watching and listening to music. Lots of multi-tab web browsing as well...
Lots of video games are often VERY cpu bound. Even though I have an i7 CPU, I often feel like the next thing to upgrade in my build is the CPU. What do you guys think?
Processor: I7 875k @4ghz (more like 3.8ghz now, 4ghz wasn't stable enough)
Motherboard: Sabertooth 55i
Cooling: Coolit ECO (CPU watercooler)
Memory: Gskill Ripjaws 8gb (2x4gb) 1600mhz 7-8-7-24
Video Card(s): Asus Directcu ii GTX 670 2GB (+145CC +260 Mem)
Hard Disk(s): 1 SSD 64GB (OS) + 2x500GB WesterDigital RAID 0
Optical Drive: Lite On BluRay Read/Write
LCD/CRT Model: Asus 24" ve248h 1920x1080
Case: NZXT Phantom
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DX
Power Supply: Antec TPQ 1200w
