Upgrading my Mobo, CPU, Ram, GPU and Monitor (>24", >=1200 vert pixels). Budget is ~$800
Already have a big psu
This is a mod to my existing gaming rig (s939 AMD build) and playing directx 10/11 games is my goal (i'm still stuck in Dx9)
The monitor will also be used as a home station for my wife's school laptop (HP dv6t, i7/8gb/HD 5650)
I hope to achieve a rig that will be upgradeable to a faster processor (i.e. X4 to X6) and SLI or Xfire when needed.
I have no aligencies to Intel/AMD/nVidia/ATI so whatever
this is what I have so far
