Hey folks,
My current rig needs a bit of an upgrade, what would you suggest;
Coolermaster HAF X (+ 200mm fan, 80mm fan and 120mm fan)
Corsair A70 cpu cooler
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 TOXIC 2048MB GDDR5 GFX Card
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)
XFX P1-750S-NLB9 PRO750W Core Edition Power Supply
1TB Hard disc 7.2K
I'm really hoping to get this thing running Fallout 4 at decent resolution and detail so I clearly need up up my GFX card but I'm wondering if I can get away with keeping the CPU or should I look at upgrading that?
I'm also going to get a larger SSHD for my setup as the price of these have dropped substantially since I build this thing back in November 2011! Time flies!
What do you think?
