Hi all,
My PC hardware is around 5 years and 6 months old now. Here is my basic spec:
Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155)
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 - overclocked to 4.2Ghz
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7970 Windforce 3072MB GDDR5
Samsung Green 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Quad Channel
Samsung 840 Pro 256Gb SSD - games would be running on this
RAID0: 2TB (4 x 500GB) Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
I am looking to be able to run the latest games on a high setting without having to start over again and buy everything from the motherboard etc. Is this going to be possible or will my CPU just create a bottleneck?
I was looking at upgrading my RAM to 32GB and purchasing new graphics card(s). I've been looking at the following parts:
- 2 x Vengeance Pro Gold 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit - 32Gb total
- Radeon RX580 - maybe 2 in crossfire if I can afford it.
What are people's thoughts in general? Any advice would be great.
Cheers
