So it's been a few years (close to 4 or 5) since I upgraded last and my comp is starting to show its age when playing newer games so I think it's about time to upgrade again. I'm really wanting to play Skyrim on decent settings and I don't think my current comp is up to the task.
I currently have...
MB: ASUS P5Q Pro
CPU: E8400
GFX: 9800GTX +
RAM: 4GB Corsair (not sure of timings or anything like that, not at my desktop at the moment :/)
Not sure of my power supply, will have to check that too, pretty sure it's some sort of Modular Antec, no idea of wattage..
Rest of my HDD are pretty run of the mill SATA drives. Also playing on a 22" Widescreen monitor so most of my gaming will be done at 1680 x 1050 - I couldn't see me updating my monitor any time soon, don't have that much cash...
Anyway, like I said, I'm assuming the three main parts are what I should be updating - I haven't done, and I'm not really interested in doing any overclocking - not sure whether it's worth me getting an SSD or anything like that. Budget is pretty open at the moment, kind of want to see what's around and what's coming in the NEAR future (Next 6 months) before deciding on a budget, but I wouldn't mind keeping it below $1000 AUD...
Any help would be great!
