System Upgrade Time!
System Upgrade Time!
#1
My graphics card seems to have given up the magic smoke, this time for real. I'm managing to limp by thanks to Intel's CPU-integrated graphics, but I've been looking into replacements. Since the system is now three years old, most of the components have since been discontinued; most Graphics cards these days are using PCI-e 3. While I could just get one and stick it in the older PCI-e 2 and pretend everything's fine, it's probably best I take the opportunity to upgrade the old things. If I were to get a new motherboard that runs PCI-e 3, I'd also have to I update my CPU to work with the new LGA1150 socket.
So the current items I'm looking at are:ASUS Z87-A mobo
Intel Core i7-4770K CPU
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 GFX (likely from EVGA)
Anyone here have suggestions, horror stories, nerdgasms or other comments to add?
