Show me the proof Mr. Aparthide. Talking games, the vast majority will favor the 6600/780 side.
Im NOT saying its a poor upgrade choice because it is just fine (and vid card can be done later) I am saying that for gaming, in most cases, the biggest gains will ALWAYS be in a GPU upgrade.
Your upgrades are "fine", and you have a good GPU. However, with those upgrades you're only going to notice a performance boost on CPU intensive game such as Arma, Battlefield 3 (specially multiplayer)... but for most other games that are GPU intensive, you're not gonna notice an upgrade.gp19
okok so THIS guy has it together but just wait...the nutty peeps are on their way!
Okok I know this may not be the best comparison to make but.....I have been racking my brain to try and figure out where I have heard Wades voice (or one quite similar) before and I figured it out.....may very well not be the same guy but, damn they are close imo....LOL.....(I laugh because for anyone to sound similar to Wade is..LOL worthy).
See......I have kids, and my daughter (lil over 2yrs old) likes a show called Word World. On the show there is a character called Duck and he is a...well..duck. And its almost like GTA has ripped off Ducks um....uniquie vocal stylings with Wade cause they sound....pretty similar!!
Oh no..never EVER say that around here. Now the wackjobs'll be comin' of the woodwork with their "advice".
Sounds like a decent set of upgrades however, if gaming is the word the biggest gains will ALWAYS be with a video card upgrade. That card is around 3yrs old (I believe). Still a good card but if it were me I'd add some memory and drop the rest on a newer card. That CPU is just fine. Hell, I have a system with an e6600 in it (@ stock) popped a GTX 780 in it to see what was what and it ran damn near anything sooooo....vid card first, CPU later (in a gaming machine that is).
But, in the end, your selected upgrade path would be fine as well, and a newer vid card can be added later.
Well, is it happening any other time or no? If not, perhaps try running the game in compatibility mode. .....though, as a game thats just out I would expect it to run fine on a win7/win8 machine. Might also try checking the game integrity from the properties menu in Steam.
