This is my current rig, built a few years ago
CPU Intel i3-2100K
Motherboard Gigabyte XKT-1155 Z68AP-D3 Motherboard
Ram G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel
GPU MSI HD 7850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics
HDD Seagate 320GB IDE HDD
PSU seasonic 430W PSU
I'm gaming on a 42" 720p plasma so game at 1280x720. I've played FC3 and Tombraider with all detail settings on high and its been great, the lower resolution seems to make that possible.
I only really use this for gaming as it sits behind the TV in the living room.
I've got a small amount of cash for probably one upgrade so wondered where i would see the most improvement. I was thinking of maybe a SSD to improve the general window experience and get an improvement in loading times etc. That would be around £50-60, is there a better way to spend the money?
I havent hit a bottle neck yet, but will be looking to pick up FarCry4 and GTA5 over Xmas so would like to enjoy those.
