Tic-Tac

Greetings forum!

 

I want to know your opinion what should I upgrade or do I even have to (and with what) in my present PC configuration ?

 

My present PC configuration : 

 

i5 3570K

Asus Maximus V Gene

Kingston HyperX Predator 8GB

MSI 7950 TF3

 

P.S. I've stated only the parts I would upgrade in the future. Playing various games on 1080p resolution atm.

 

Thanks!

Your system seems pretty good. It would really just matter upon what you want to do and any upgrades you do with your monitor(s). How come in your signature it says you have 16gb of ram though?

@mkessler9 Oh, I forgot to correct that... I have sold 8GB of RAM, thinking that I wouldn't need that much but I think that mistake is done and that I need that other kit back though...

To be honest I am but deep inside me my creed for tech is telling me that I could upgrade something :) Maybe GPU and 8GB more RAM?

If you are satisfied with your current rig, save your money for the upcoming Haswell Refresh, Nvidia 800 series etc~
