Hey guys,
I'm planning to buy a new rig, after getting tired of the LGA775 platform.
Budget-wise, just the cheapest possible parts while preserving the *SILENT GAMING* concept.
I picked the following:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 3.2Ghz
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster hyper 212 evo
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H
GPU: Gigabyte GTX660 3GB DDR5 OC GV-N660OC-3GD
RAM: Corsair 8Gb Kit (4G X2) CML8GX3M2A1600C9W CL-9-9-9-24 LP + 1.35V
SSD: Crucial m500 240GB (already owned)
PSU: Seasonic PSU S12II-620W Active PFC
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl
Notes:
- Not planning to OverClock.
- This rig sums up to approx 1150$ (I'm not from the US, so I just converted the price).
- Please recommend only NVIDIA GPUs, as I'd like to be eligible for the upcoming DirectX 12.
Requests / Questions:
1. I'll be happy to receive your feedback regarding this new rig.
2. Is the GPU I chose an overkill for 1080P smooth gaming for today's games & some in the foreseeable future?
3. I'd like to know if using the same GPU I have now (Asus 7750HD-1GD5), on the new rig mentioned above,
will perform better at 1080P gaming ? or is it maxed out with my Core 2 duo E6600 running at 2.4GHz ?
This is my current rig:
CPU: Intel E6600
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooler freezer 11 lp
MOBO: Intel D945GCNL
GPU: Asus 7750 HD-1GD5
RAM: Kingston 2 x 2GB
SSD: Crucial m500 240GB
PSU: Seasonic 520W
Case: Corsair 200R
Thanks in advance!
