So I'm thinking it's time for me to do something about my rig. Currently have:
Antec P182
Corsair HX-620
Asus Striker II Formula (nVidia chipset, SLI-capable but one of the slots is right at the bottom of the case)
Intel Q6600
XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Black Edition (65nm card that's got a faster clock than the 9800 GTX+)
2 x Seagate 7200.11 750 Gb
4 x 2 Gb OCZ Reaper PC-8500 RAM
Definitely want to upgrade the GPU and add storage.
Things I'm thinking about:
- I have a ton of games on Steam. Completely filled up a 750 GB drive just with programs. Is an SSD worth it if won't hold the vast majority of my programs? I'm not going to be shuffling games around just for faster load times. How would I make this work if I were to get one?
- GPU: probably want something a GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570. Has to be nVidia. Most taxing resolution will be 1920x1080 but with 3D Vision. How much frame buffer do I want? (There's a two GB version of the 560, but it has less power than the 570.) Any good deals out there?
- CPU/mobo/RAM: worth upgrading?
Thanks!
