Hi, over the years I have gathered some nice components, and have just acquired a new XFX Ati 6870 GDDR5 1GB Card - I guess I am wondering what I need to most invest in to make her fly properly.
Any advice would be very much appreciated! I don't know jack about overclocking, so everything below is running at factory standard specs.
My Current Bits
Windows: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Memory (RAM): 2047 MB
CPU Info: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
CPU Speed: 2395.5 MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. EP45-DS3
Motherboard: EP45-DS3
Case : Lian Li Silent case (very nice!)
Sound Card: Auzen X-Fi Audio Prelude 7.1
Display Adapters: XFX ATI Radeon 6870 1GB GDDR5
Monitors: 2x Acer X243HQ 24" LCD Screens (can go to 3, by adding another identical one for about 150)
Screen Resolution: 1920 X 1080 - 32 bit
CD / DVD Drives: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200S
Mouse: Logitech G5
Keyboard : Logitech G15
Hard Disks: C: 931.5GB | D: 298.1GB
Hard Disks - Free: C: 543.0GB | D: 84.0GB
Joystick : Logitech X3D Extreme 3DPro
Obviously, I need to do something - What can I do that will balance it out right? I have not mentioned my budget, but I can't afford the i7's, and I don't want things that will add only minor performance for high cost.
What do you think?
My main uses are FSX, General Gaming and I run two screens (maybe going to 3) from the Video Card.. I am choosing the parts from MSY - http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf
Thanks guys!
