Hey all,
My sig rig has been kicking a** and taking names while maxing out every game ive thrown at it since I built it a couple years ago. Ive noticed that I cant quite max out the latest games like Far Cry 4, especially now that Im gaming at 2560x1440. so its time to upgrade, especially in preparation for a 4k monitor. The only thing that is different now than compared to my sig rig is that I have a 512gig Crucial M4 SSD for games now and a 4tb external drive for storage and server purposes.
From what I can tell, the only two things I can think to upgrade is the GPU and PSU.
Unless Nvidia comes out with a GTX990 in the next month or so, im going to pick up a used GTX Titan X and a water block for it. I want to stick with a single card solution since this is a water cooled rig and water cooling two cards is a pita. Ill also pick up a used higher wattage PSU with a hybrid mode, so the fan is off at idle.
Thoughts?
