So, I have already upgraded my old system to my current one, but I would like to see if you guys could give me some suggestions. I'll go ahead and post my system specs now: Operating System Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz Haswell 22nm Technology RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 801MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. SABERTOOTH Z87 (SOCKET 1150) Graphics DELL ST2220L (1920x1080@60Hz) DELL SE198WFP (1440x900@60Hz) 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (ASUStek Computer Inc) Storage 111GB ATA KINGSTON SH103S3 SCSI Disk Device (SSD) 931GB ATA WDC WD1002FAEX-0 SCSI Disk Device (SATA) 1863GB ATA WDC WD20EZRX-00D SCSI Disk Device (SATA) 29GB ADATA USB Flash Drive USB Device (USB) Optical Drives ASUS BW-12B1ST a SCSI CdRom Device Audio Logitech G35 Headset I pulled these hardware specs from Speccy. As you can see, I cam running on a single ASUS GTX 770, with two monitors. The 1080p one I use for gaming and the odd res one I use for game maps, skype, TS, and the like. Also, I have overclocked my cpu to 4.2Ghz (cant seem to get it past that, I wanted to reach 4.5). but my main concern is my gpu. Do you think it would be a good idea to purchase a second 770 and run it in SLI for Star Citizen and other games? I am just unsure how taxing it will be.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll possibly get another GPU in the future if games become too taxing on my system.
same. When SC actually is about to release you may want to do a GPU upgrade just to run at higher quality settings, but until the game is launching it looks like you have a really solid gaming PC. Star Citizen will be one of the most taxing games ever created. It's polygon count of models far surpasses any other game to date. Whether you should get a 2nd GTX 770 later on or just buy a new single GPU I dont know, wont know until the game is launching. I would estimate though it would be better to just get a new single card like a GTX 970 or something that is out at the time of game launch.
I mean realistically.... if it's slated for 2016, there might be a few you things you could upgrade, but not really much you might NEED to.
If you wanted to upgrade for Star Citizen. Wouldn't the best option to upgrade before the game launches for real? Technology is going to be very different in a year or two and it is always better to buy later.
Thanks for all the advice guys! Hopefully when SC comes out i won't have to do another complete system overhaul like I did in the beginning of the year. Had to replace everything to upgrade from an old socket 775 mobo and the like.
