Hello again all. I've decided to upgrade my PC. I want to be able to keep some of the hardware that may still be relevant to keep prices low. I know I said I want a beastly PC, but I kinda would love it to be a budge build. Below are my specs:
Mother Board: Asus M4A88T-M AMD 880G/SB710; GbE, DDR3 1866OC; ATI HD 4250, Hybrid xFire; SATA3Gb/s CPU: AMD Phenom II x2 560 Blk 3.3GHz Dual-Core (This allowed me to unlock to a Quad-Core) 2X RAM - DDR3 4GB 1600MHz Corsair (2X2GB)Dominator GPU: PALIT GTX460 1GB Sonic GDDR5, Direct X11 SLI Ready Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 RX 650w, Ultra Quiet 140mm Fan, Single +12V Up to 44A
Now, for preferences, I'd love to just be able to run Skyrim at 60fps and keeping a high resolution. Currently, I can run 60fps, with fps drops come in cities and towns, and I can't keep any nice texture packs and adding Alternity's texture packs make very little difference in improvement, showing how my rig has aged. Another request is, I'd like to be able to also run any games that came out last year, well nevermind as I'm sure my current rig can run them all if they're console ports, but I'd like to run the PC exclusives nicely.
Thanks all. Let me know if you need any other information. About the Alienware Alpha, it was a bust. So I'll have to pass on it unless he fixes it and lowers the price some more so I don't get buyer's remorse, but that won't happen anytime soon.
Spending Budget: 400 USD plus 50 if I have to. Please if you could tell me exact model names for me to search. Links would be the best option, but you don't have to :). I'm very hesitant to upgrade, because I'm unsure what is compatible with my mobo and so on that I don't want to ruin anything.
Overclocking, I prefer not to. The more I read of how safe it is to OC, the more I feel it's not :) If it's already overclocked by the tech folks to a safe amount, then that's fine, so long as it's the best option for me.
