I guess that, as gaming is my main use, my priorities is to ensure either the upgrade or new rig can play games such as Far Cry 3, FM13, Shogun 2, Dishonoured, big RPG’s etc on highish settings and would definitely want to be able to run the new GTA when (or if) it ships on PC.
My current rig is:
Phenom II X4 955BE
Gigabyte MA770-UD3 revision 2
4gb PC2-8500
Samsung F1 1tb
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II OC 2048MB
Corsair HX450W 450w
Antec 300
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
