Here is my current PC (I built it in January 2010)
Processor - i7 920 Quad Core 2.65 GHz
Graphics Card - Radeon HD 5970 2 Gigs
Ram - 8 Gigs
System - Windows 7 64 Bit
Hard Drive - 1 TB
OCZ Vertex Series 2.5" SATA 2 Solid State Drive - 30 GB (Where Windows 7 is installed and nothing else)
Monitor - 24 Inch 1920x1200 Samsung LED
Motherboard - EVGA X58 SLI LE
What I want to upgrade/should upgrade
Graphics Card - I am debating to buy the Nvidia GeForce 590, or wait for their next-gen series... either way I'll be spending 700+ Dollars)
Processor - Should I upgrade my processor, if so to what, and why?
Ram - thinking of maybe upgrading this, not sure if I really need more than 8 gigs?
HDD Space - Probably will upgrade to a 2TB HDD and also use my old one too to get more space, or I can just leave it at 1 TB and save my money
SSD - Want to upgrade to 100 Gigs, have they went down in price?
Monitor - Not upgrading
Motherboard - Do I need to upgrade it?
I did not buy a Sound Card for my previous build, is it worth buying a sound card, does it make gaming better? Sound is important to me, but I am not sure if the cards make a big difference?
I am planning to do this sometime around Fall/Winter, but I want to starting saving up money now.
Thank you all!
