Hi Everyone,
So as of now, the mid end gaming rig I bought a few years ago won't cut it anymore. I've been looking into upgrades, but I'm not sure what route to take.
My specs are:
Athlon II 620 X4 @ 2.6ghz
DFI Lan Party 790FXB-M2RSH
4GB G-Skill DDR2-800
2x ATI Radeon 5750
WinPower 700w PSU.
About a year ago I was given an extra 5750. I put it in the computer without much thought and left it at that. After playing some more recent, much more demanding games, I found that the FPS I was getting was too low for my liking.
Currently, I'm aware of the fact that I need a new PSU to replace the POS I'm using currently (my mistake for not building myself), but otherwise I'm not exactly sure what route to take. I'm noticing maxed out CPU usage and about 60% usage per GPU when playing games like Just Cause 2. I'm also noticing better framerates with crossfire disabled on many games.
Any help you guys can offer is much appreciated.
