Current rig is 2 years old and has the following parts
CPU: Intel Core i5 750
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 460
MoBo: Gigabyte P55A=UD3
RAM: G.Skill RipJaws 4GB DDR3
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 932
PSU: Corsair TX-750
I need a new video card as the current one I have always cuts out and I need to restart the PC. I'm wanting more RAM as 4GB just isnt cutting it right now.
So my question is should I just upgrade my RAM to 16GB and upgrade my video card to something like GTX 570 or Radeon 7870? or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new rig?
The reason why I'm asking is with the new Ivy Processors out... do they make a huge difference? What about adding SSD? There are a few games coming in in the next 3-4 months (GW2, Dishonored etc) that I want to be able to play at decent resolutions.
Trying to weigh the cost of $1500-2000 for new rig or $400-500 for a few parts...
