Hi,
I am new here so please excuse any newb questions or mistakes on my part. I have an intel E8500 processor and an Asus mobo (nothing highend just the run of the mill 100$ mobo) with 4 gb ram (1 gb sticks) and a GTX 570 (1.25 gb) with an intel 256 gb SSD. I recently installed fifa 2012 and noticed that my game play was not smooth and the frames were low. I was thinking of upgrading the whole system and here is what I have in mind.
CPU: Intel I7 3770K
mobo: Asus P8Z77 or P8Z68
Ram: Corsair Vengence 16 gb
I am confused about the Graphics card. should I buy another 570 and run them both in SLI or sell the 570 and get a 670 or 680. Please note that I have a samsung P2370 that maxes out at 1920 x 1080 resolution and I plan to keep a single monitor all the way in the future as well. I play crysis 2, Fifa 2012, call of duty and intend to play crysis 3 when it launches. Advice on any and all aspects of the build would be appreciated.
