Hi,
Its time for me to upgrade my PC. I know nothing about computers so I post here for help. These are my thoughts.
Current setup:
64 gb SSD - Runs operatiing system and some stuff. PC boot time takes a while now though.
8 Gb Ram - DDR3
CPU - Intel 2500k
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
GPU - Gigabyte SO 580
500GB HD - Games and stuff on here
Xonar sound Card
PSU - Corsair 750 w
Keyboard - 20 buck one
Mouse - Sensai
Headphones - need new ones
Current issues:
Boot time on PC is very slow now.
When I play BF3 some times the graphics go funny and get artifacts and flashing (not all the time).
Have to run my mic via mobo and heaphones via sound card
Headphones almost falling apart
Using a 20 dollar logitech keyboard that is almost dead.
Upgrade questions/help:
I want to upgrade my CPU but for one of the new ones, do I need a new Mobo? What would be the best bang for buck CPU and Mobo combo if so? (I dont want to OC) prefer intel.
GPU uprade I am leaning towards a 770. However, is there a major difference between 770 and 760? BF4 (played competitively) will be my primary game but will play others. Games tend to not be run on high to allow for max frames.
I believe my PSU is fine so will keep as well as my ram. Or is more ram needed now? DDR higher?
SSD upgarde to 120GD or higher? Maybe better stuff out there now?
Keyboard - Going mech and will prob get a ducky.
Headphones - AD 700's still seem good so will get them. Unless there is a better equiv out there now.
Is a new sound card needed or mobo fine. Note - use PC for music, movies and games only.
Anything else?
Suggestions on stuff would be helpful.
