Good evening everyone. My current rig is as follows...
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150
Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X 4096MB GDDR5
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gbs Basic
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache
Corsair Vengeance C70 Midi Tower Gaming Case
Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)
Since my upgrade last year I haven't really struggled to run anything (excluded of course games that were poorly made) but I have a hunch that a lot of stuff is coming that will demand slightly more muscle and I am thinking a couple of quid now might put me out in front of that a little.
I am keen to put another 8GB of Ram in, but I cannot find the exact same ram on sale anywhere, and if memory serves correctly it's not wise to mix ram if possible (again, apologies if this is not accurate). I am also thinking now might be as good of a time as any to make the leap to Windows 10 (I mean it's free and seems fairly popular).
My graphics card is still mean and keen but again and I cannot escape the niggle that its soon going to left in the dust. This card was my first ATI card and I have been REALLY happy with it but it seems like NVIDIA might be a safer bet now? I dunno, probably being silly but I always like to ask the kind folks on this forum for advice should I feel the need to update and upgrade.
As always any advice would be great, thank you kindly in advance.
Kind Regards,
Tonytank
