So, roughly two years ago I decided to learn how to buy some computer parts and put a computer together myself with the help of some people on some forums. The experience went very smoothly and my computer is still running fairly great to this day, however I also want to make it a little bit better. And, I think the video card is the part that I am looking at specifically.
-Coolermaster HAF 922
-Western Digital Caviar Black 500g
-GIGABYTE GA-770T-USB3, XFX 5770
-4g G.Skill Ripjaw 1600
-Corsair 650W, 955
-Phenom II X4 3.2 GHz
-Windows 7
As of right now I am not quite getting the fps I want even though I am only using a 1600x900 monitor. Games like Witcher 2, Starcraft 2, and Skyrim are the type of games that I would like to play on max settings. As of right now however, I feel gimped on Witcher 2. On Starcraft 2, I can run at max settings however when a huge battle happens 200/200 food the fps isnt what I would need. Therefore, I decide to play on medium settings when I play that game. And Skyrim I can play on max graphics, but I dont feel its quite as optimal as it could be.
So I ask you guys for some help, do you think that the graphics card is what I should replace in order to replace the problem I am talking about? And, if so do you have any recommendations on what sort of card would be good enough for my needs?
I have sort of been looking at the saphire vapor x 7770, for $130, because I think this would probably be the bump I need to get what I want out of a graphics card. But do you think its worth it to spend more/less on something else? Also, the video card I have currently I find to be very very loud when I am playing a game that is graphically demanding. I find this to be pretty annoying, I would much rather find a much quieter sounding graphics cards, despite me playing a graphically demanding game.
