Hey all,
I have not followed the upgrade and current hardware scene for a long time.
My current machine is showing it's age(read: very old) and now is the time to look at either upgrading components or purchasing a new system:
Current specs are as follows:
Processor Information:
CPU Vendor: GenuineIntel
CPU Brand: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
CPU Family: 0x6
CPU Model: 0x2a
CPU Stepping: 0x7
CPU Type: 0x0
Speed: 3411 Mhz
8 logical processors
4 physical processors
Operating System Version:
Windows 7 (64 bit)
NTFS: Supported
Crypto Provider Codes: Supported 311 0x0 0x0 0x0
Video Card:
DirectX Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Number of Monitors: 1
Number of Logical Video Cards: 1
No SLI or Crossfire Detected
Primary Display Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Desktop Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Primary Display Size: 26.65" x 16.65" (31.42" diag)
67.7cm x 42.3cm (79.8cm diag)
Primary Bus: PCI Express 16x
Primary VRAM: 164 MB
Supported MSAA Modes: 2x 4x 8x
Motherboard:
Asus Maximus Extreme V
Sound card:
Audio device: Speakers (Realtek High Definiti
Memory:
RAM: 8159 Mb
Storage:
Disk serial number hash: a8486800
Number of SSDs: 0
SSD sizes: %s1
Number of HDDs: 0
HDD sizes: %s1
Would it be worth starting off with the graphics card and then going on to RAM/SSDs then eventually the mobo?
Or should I consider flogging it and buying a ready built system from the likes of Evetech/These classifieds etc?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Robert
