Topic: Should I upgrade or buy a new rig? Posted: 05 Jun 2014 at 1:59am |
So as stated in the title, I am not sure if I should just get a new rig or upgrade what I currently have.
Budget: [maybe %600-700 max, im poor right now so sad :( ] Expectations: [Light - medium gaming, and watching youtube/twitch ] Usage: [I want to play recent MMO games such as wildstar/archeage and more of the sort, but it doesn't have to be high or ultra graphics, I am totally fine with medium graphics. As well as the usual internet surfing, youtube/twitch, and all that good stuff] Special Needs: [not really any special needs, I don't mind a loud system, It does get kind of hot where I live so I guess I would be a little worried about my computer overheating and such] Saved Ticket #: [Please Type Here] um no specifics here but I was looking at the Vanquish 2 series Specifications: This was my first DYI desktop that I built like a few years ago so I am pretty new to building it myself. Thanks for your time. [Current setup is like pretty outdated: Antec 900 V2 case AMD Phenom II x2 555 BE ~3.2 GHz Asus m4a785td-v evo 4gigs G.Skill RAM Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS 550 Rocketfish PSU (its so old, dont make fun plz lol)] |

Hi Seofie... Welcome to the forums. For your budget and the system you now have, I would grab the Vanquish level 1 or 2. The gtx 750 in level 1 is probably, a guess, 3-5x the gaming of your 8600. Plus a well cooled case and 8gb ram.
You didn't mention the resolution of your monitor but a 23" at 1920x1080 will play most games at Medium. Some even at High settings. A lower res monitor will play even better. Hope this helps and good luck. |

You're welcome. The Vanquish will give you very good gaming on your monitor. Not High to Max with a lot of games but still very good for your requirement.
