Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my SSD and GPU so that I could play Dragon Age Inquisition and other new games in high or ultra setting at 2560x1600 resolution. The desktop will served as a gaming machine. Do you guys have any recommendation in term of parts? I'm leaning toward the Radeon 290x for the never settle option and Intel 730 480GB.
Should I upgrade to Windows 8? Is there any advantage in term of gaming performance?
