hi im new, i have a question.

[R2DUAL]

hello overclockers and forum members,

im currently running a AMD A8 Black edition quad core FM1.

i was just wondering is it worth me upgrading to FM2 or piledriver.

main games i play are rift, tera, and soon the new aliens game as im a big fan of alien.

also will my FM1 socket processor fit a FM2 motherboard ? im guessing not, but would like to know for sure.

i also need a new graphics card i got a hd7770 1gb but im planning for a 3monitor set up and i got a feeling this 7770 just wont get the fps over 3 monitors.

have £475 for 2 extra monitor and a decent card. spec me.

current monitor is a asus VE228 LED 22"

thanks for any advice,

With that £475 I'd consider getting a new build, a A8 and 7770 won't run triple screens at decent quality. The FM1 processor won't fit a FM2 socket.
An i5, Z77 board and 7950 could be achieved with £475.
