Ths is my first time building a gaming pic.
I'm a pretty big gamer so in 2009 I bought a Dell with an Intel i7 920@2.67ghz, radeon hd 4850 and 6 gb of ram. It was like 500 dollars. It was pretty awesome back then and I could play quite a few games on high settings with it. But recently this computer, particularly the graphics card, is starting to show its age.
So I figured it was time for an upgrade. I've already purchased a 600 watt power supply and a gtx 780. I figure if I'm going to update anything else like the processor and motherboard I might as well just build a new pc.
I'm hoping you guys can offer me some help and suggestions.
I'm thinking of upgrading to an i7 4770k for around 300-400 dollars and a new motherboard for 150-200 dollars. Also I will probably buy a new computer case.
Thanks,
Grateful Newbie.
