[QUOTE="Deepcee, post: 1729536, member: 11653"] Well, that time of the year again. In the market to upgrade my graphics card,toss in more ram and switch to Windows 7. [B]Currently running (Everything at stock)[/B] - Phenom II X6 1055t - Gigabyte 880GM - UD2H - Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333Mhz 4 GB x 1 - Random Hitachi HDD 160 GB - XFX 8800 GTS (640 MB) - LG dvd drive Sitting pretty in an Antec 900 case. 2 x 120mm intake fans. 1x 120mm exhaust and 1x 240mm top exhaust [B]Powered by - [/B]Corsair HX 620 [B]Upgrade idea [/B]- Asus GTX 670 DCII - Add another 4 GB Corsair ram - Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium - SSD ? You folks were quite helpful when I had to replace my motherboard and CPU so a few more questions this time. [B]Would a HX 620 be sufficient to power all the potential upgrades?[/B] [B]Primary Usage[/B] My usage would primarily be working in Maya, nothing too heavy though. As far as gaming goes, I'm playing Diablo 3 right now and would be looking to play a few pc exclusive games in the future like Company Of Heroes 2 or the new SimCity. Primary gaming would be my 360. [B]Budget[/B] I have a rough budget of around 40k right now, but I had not considered adding an SSD. As always, can increase the budget as necessary. The SSD isn't absolutely required right now, but shall add if you guys think it's worth the performance boost. [B]Option B Would just upgrading EVERYTHING be a better idea? A new pc essentially. [/B] I know the CPU is no slouch but would it end up bottle-necking my GPU in any way? I'm not a big fan of the motherboard design since adding the 670 might block out almost all the other SATA ports. The GTX 670 would be a snug fit in my Antec 900, but I'm sure it will have room.
