Complete or Slight Upgrade

[blaze5727]

Hello guys,

 

My current PC is a desktop with 32GB of DDR3 ram and has 2 Geforce 660 TI video cards in it. On the bad side the case is just one I got from Bestbuy (HP Pavilion), the motherboard which came with the original HP that I got, probably is not very good and it has a 4 core AMD processor that I never upgraded from the HP pavilion.

 

New:

RAM

2x Video cards

Powersupply

 

Old:

Chassis

Motherboard

Monitor

Processor

2 TB harddrive (Magnetic)

 

With these specs would it be easier to order a whole new computer from one of those "make your own computer" sites only leave out all the things I upgraded already, or would it be easier/cost value to just upgrade each part separately.

 

PS. with my current I can run every game so far on high.   I can only make it lag when trying to screen capture BF4.

Order a whole new computer and ship the one you currently have now to me

 

Seriously I would just buy new stuff that just needs upgraded and build it yourself... Use the new stuff you currently and build from there

Before you go that far the question is whether or not you really need to. If you got a new one, or even a significant upgrade, what can you do with it that you cannot do now. If you can play every game on high why do you need new cards? Or a new processor? The industry is looking for people to upgrade because they can. Like iPhones or iPads. I always have to laugh at people that stand in line the first day to spend 400+ bucks every year when at best something might have some more memory and a better camera. Oooo... ahhhhh.

 

My old single GPU is fine for what I need it to do. But I dont play BF4 or other taxing games. However I do need a new one for UDK or UE4 which has more requirements than BF4 ever could have. So there is a definite need there. Otherwise I will save my money and stick with what I've got.

I agree. Hold off on the upgrades at least until the next gen parts come out. That way if the next gen stuff is too much for your wallet to handle you can get the older hardware for cheaper when the put them on sale to make room for the new stuff. And you can get more bang for your buck by building yourself. If there is any part of the build you are unsure of I'm sure there are plenty people here that will help you out as well as many YouTube videos to help.

I have been using the following site to play around with different components....

That is a build out I have been working towards. I have most of the parts except the mobo and proc... Hope that helps!! Let me know if you want to talk about parts at all.

asus, msi, are the top in MB selection

[KaptCrunch]

if opt to build system READ the whole MB manual before attempting  also remove protective film off cpu or heatsink and apply thermal paste  glob of rice size in dead center of surface

 

research your parts and chipset  so that are compatible

you can lplay every game on high settings which is more themn most of us can .so whats your point in wasting money...

Away from games, I enjoy making Montages of gameplay, I 3-d model, and I am investing time into Game development, which all three are taxing on the computer when doing them.

 

Either way I might invest in a second monitor or at least a larger newer one.

[Dark Asylumn]

2 or more monitors are a godsend

Blaze if you decide to get new video cards and you want to sell the old ones I would be interested in them. Just let me know if you need any help on your build.
