Good Morning,

 

I'm having some difficulties on what to upgrade on my computer. Just some background I live in the US, I play a lot of ARMA, not really anything else. Selling my xboxone though my open me up to some other games but I have a strong arma addiction. With that being said here is my current build

 

Mother Board: ASUS x 79 Saber tooth

CPU: Intel I7 4820k @ 3.70

GPU: GTX 750ti

16 gb ram

1 tb

Windows 7

800 watt 

 

x-55 Rhino Hotas

Logitech z506 speakers 

Razer Black widow stealth keyboard

track ir pro/wclip

Gila gaming mouse

steel series mouse pad

Gamstergear headset.

Asus v2547 Monitor 

 

 

 

My thought would be to add a ssd and upgrade video card. Maybe sound card.

After watching hours of youtube video and reading blogs this is what I came down too, I found them both on amazon.

 

 

Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-4GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC WINDFORCE 3X Graphics Card GV-N770OC-4GD

Intel 730 SERIES 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SSDSC2BP240G4R5 240gb

Possibly mouse upgrade and some rudder pedals please add suggestions if I'm going thinking in the wrong direction. I haven't really thought about adding another screen. I usually have my laptop around for that, I feel its more of a distraction and lots of people didn't have the best reviews of playing arma on two screens. 

 

 

Thanks!

You have the most OP CPU for that graphics card. I suggest getting a 770/780 if you want to stay with Nvidia. Otherwise get R9 290

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Electronics Wizardy- I already have the 4820 k and x79.... why did you say don't get them? I'm trying to upgrade GPU or SSD first maybe a mouse or something else. Next Build will be nuts but I've only been on this computer since March and I have had awesome performance!  Zero complaints! 

 

Archangel 1994- that's what I've been told about my cpu.... I'm pretty set on getting the Gigabyte Gtx 770 for about $350... I cant really justify the $509 for Gtx 780 unless then I should hold off on SSD. I kinda wanted to do them both same time. But thinking I should wait to cyber monday or new gtx cards come out. Performance isnt bad FPS 10-35 10 is when I've got 50+ enemies on the ground, with 3 choppers over head and a cas strike coming from a UAV, lags a bit. 

 

Let me know what you guys think, I appreciate it. 

 

 

Have a good un'
